Could SIRI be used in Desktops?
Renowned Colorist Alex Hurkman today tweeted that he would have SIRI in on his desktop rather than his Iphone 4S.
Makes me think it could be start of something very interesting. How about Voice Controlled Editing? Just think of the iinfinite possibilities & the speed with which you would be able to work.
You say -5 frames and boom there it is. WOW!

I don’t think you’ve thought this idea through very well.

Wait?…….what?…..um…..bad idea! I can currently talk to my Mac but it’s pointless!

Really Garry?
Why do you think so? What are some of the pitfalls you foresee?

Um the people working around you!
A couple of people in my office bought the iPhone yesterday. you how stupid it looks and sounds talking to a phone instead of just typing in things. For people driving and disabled yes great Idea.
I miss when only few people had apple products!

Eh? It might look stupid right now but wait for a year then tell me when most of the smartphones will have this voice enabled technology.

Ever heard of speech recognition system? It might not have great results today, but can definitely be improved as time goes by.

Most phones already had this! Apple just now marketing like its a new technology!Granted Apple probably made it better. BlackBerry and Androids that had it I used it lot but after awhile it the fun wears off except when I’m driving.
I even used Dragon Naturally Speaking after an accident and could use my hands and it worked well. I still think its a pointless technology until it can work with noise in the background and can understand accents.
Stop making siri out to something more than it is.

Well, i am no apple agent. I thought it was something interesting and worth a discussion here. If you don’t like the idea, you can move to the next thread!
Nothing personal 🙂

[Sohrab Sandhu] “You say -5 frames and boom there it is. WOW!”
Yeah, but in the time it would take me to say that I’d already have done it with my mouse.
“select clip 00024B. Move negative 5 frames.”
It takes me 4 seconds to say all that. I can do it with my mouse in 2 seconds max.
For complex operations where menus and popup windows are required I can see voice activation being a great improvement. But for simple editing tasks, the mouse (and pen tablet) rains supreme.
I would love to be able to say “render the entire sequence a 20Mbs H.264 file in the project folder”… that would be much faster then any interface could be. (Unless it was ridiculously simplified)

Agreed, for some tasks it would still be quicker to do it physically.
But consider for instance tweaking values in filters tab or. It cud well be done much quicker with a voice command.
And for the record, I am not suggesting only Apple is capable of doing this. Infact companies like Adobe or AVID might take the lead and bring it sooner than later!

“Please specify encoder complexity.”
“Please specify H.264 level.”
“Please specify quality level.”
“Please specify audio codec.”
“Please specify audio kilohertz”
“Please specify audio bitrate.”
Yeah, quite the timesaver.
