Siri Dictation (voice commands)
Apples new Skynet prototype, Siri is my new digital assistant. The more we interact, the smarter we both become and the faster the world falls into robot hands. It’s inevitable, really. So I’ve setup this page to make communication easier.
Think Dragon Dictation on steroids or KITT in the palm of your hands.
