Umncedisi we-iOS obonakalayo, uSiri, waqala ngo-2011 emva kokuqaliswa kwe-iPhone 4S. Abagxeki bancome le nkqubo intsha isetyenziswa kancinane kude kube ngoko apho unokunxibelelana nomncedisi wenyani ofumana ulwazi kunye nonxibelelwano. Kancinci kancinci kwaye uhlaziywe emva kohlaziyo, ukwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha kunye nophuhliso lwetekhnoloji entsha yenziwe USiri uya esiba krelekrele, nangona kusekho imisele emininzi ekufuneka igrunjwe. Umntu onike ilizwi kumncedisi welizwi wokuqala we-iOS, USusan Bennett, uye wadliwano-ndlebe kwaye unike ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nokuba yayinjani le nkqubo kunye nendlela angazange afumanise ngayo de kwasungulwa ngokusesikweni ukuba ilizwi lakhe lelikaSiri.
Imbali encinci malunga neSiri: Nuance kunye neScanSoft
Yonke yaqala ngeprojekthi eqalwe ngoJulayi 2005 yinkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiScanSoft, ejongene neenkonzo ezinxulumene nokuguqulwa kwesicatshulwa-kwintetho. USusan Bennett wayebandakanyeka kule projekthi kwaye wanikwa ukuqonda ukuba injongo yayo yayiyiyo inkqubo entsha yokuthumela imiyalezo.
Into awayengayazi, nabaphathi ababemngqongile, yayikukuba le projekthi yayiza kuba sisiseko sokuphuhlisa uSiri. Kwiinyanga kamva, iScanSoft idityaniswe neNuance ekhuphisana nayo. Oku kudityaniswa kwaba noxanduva lokunika umncedisi wenyani we Isakhono sokuqondwa kwentetho kunye namazwi. Kwakukho 2013 xa etyhila zonke iinkcukacha zomsebenzi owenziwe ngeScanSoft. Ezi nkcazo zibangele ukuba i-Big Apple isuse ilizwi likaBennett kwaye ifake elinye ilizwi elihlaziyiweyo emva kokusungulwa kwe-iOS 7.
USusan Bennett wenza i umsebenzi onzima nonzima ngokusekwe kucengcelezo lwamabinzana angenantsingiselo omnye emva komnye ukubeka iliso kwizandi nganye, amagama kunye nezandi; Oku akuthethe kudliwanondlebe olutsha kumajelo eendaba Ifomu:
Besirekhoda kwinkampani yokuthumela umyalezo kwintetho. Yayintsha ke loo nto kuthi. Sasingayazi into esasiyenza. Sasicinga ukuba senza imibhalo emitsha yeenkqubo zemfonomfono.
Kolunye udliwano-ndlebe no-Bennett, wabalaselisa "yothusa" eyavakala ngelizwi likaSiri emva kokusungulwa kwayo ngo-Oktobha 2011. Khawufan' ucinge le meko: umsebenzi owenziwe kwiminyaka eyadlulayo ubonakala wenziwe umncedisi wenyani ovela kwenye yeenkampani zetekhnoloji eziphambili kwimarike.
