Could SIRI be used in Desktops?
-
[Jeremy Garchow] Judging from your last few responses to me, it’s quite obvious you have some sort of grudge against me for whatever reason, it’s fine.
Considering how you reference others who don’t share your point-of-view on things, I feel like it’s more likely you’re just reflecting off me instead of there being actual hostility on my end.
Forgive me for having thoughts that might not make sense to you. I’m not scared of what I don’t understand, even mistakenly.
Sorry, guess I’m just too “terrified” of the future…or something…
What if Siri could be used to make a transcript? What if I asked Siri to call me when a transcode is done so I can go for a walk? What if I asked Siri to make all my clips dual mono instead of stereo? What if Siri…?
The topic was about editing using voice command, not about doing all the side housekeeping stuff. If you want to bring that up, then please do so, and not try make a case against something I haven’t actually poo-pooed.
And didn’t Apple say Siri’s in beta? Shit, let’s give it at least a moment to sink in before calling it useless.
Again, such as in this comment. I got a 4S and I use Siri all the time. Where did we take a turn from editing via voice commands to the simple timesavers that Siri brings?

[Andrew Kimery] “Siri used to be in beta as a free app. Now it’s out of beta and only on the iPhone 4s. If you had the Siri iOS App it will stopping working today (Oct. 15th”
Weird. Still says Beta here:

I’m sure that voice control will be implemented some time.
I see that very useful for managing the media because key-word based system (logging,tagging and retrieve media..) and some other functions (alternate edits, playing, repeat, go to..,export to..).
Voice will replace any typing. I think that’s great (I’ve been complaining of the so much typing to get things organized in FCPX).However I don’t see that so useful for the very editing, trimming, or adjusting values. That would be very tiring for the editor and for anyone beside.
[Craig Seeman] “Somewhere there is an editor now suffering from crippling arthritis or repetitive stress syndrome or was paralyzed in an accident who could continue his creativity with this feature.”
Craig you are a well intentioned and very positive guy.
There are thousands of editors all around the world suffering from FCP EOL and Apple doesn’t give a damn about them. Apple would move a finger for the people in the painful circumstances you are describing but for marketing purposes.
And not, I’m not cynic here.rafael

Not too long, long ago, not too far, far away …
Several companies walk into a bar and start talking about out how they could make a phone you could use just about anywhere.
Sitting at a table near them are some members of an elite group called the Creative Chickens. They overhear the companies talking about their idea and decide to give their opinion.
I don’t think you thought this idea through very well.
Do you know how stupid you’d look walking down the street talking on a phone?
Stop making a phone out to be more than it is.
Working in silence is preferable.
Bad idea!
I can currently walk down the street and talk to myself, but it’s pointless!
Yeah, quite the time saver.
Using a phone at home is just about the right level of phone usage.
To make a phone work for talking just about anywhere, you’d need a pretty stripped down phone.
You’d look like a big green Kool-Aid guy.
Who the h*ll wants to talk all day?
If you spent more than a few seconds thinking about what your idea could be like, it’s not hard to realize how it wouldn’t be all that useful.
Sorry, guess I’m just too “terrified” of the future.Well, companies will be companies. So, they go out and create the phone anyway. They didn’t listen to any of the Creative Chickens.
Several years later, the Creative Chicken members are sitting in the same bar. Each one of them is talking to someone else on a phone they can use just about anywhere.
Another group of companies walks into the bar. They have an idea where you could use a phone just about anywhere, without having to talk into the phone. You can just put a little speaker and mic in your ear.
Once again, the Creative Chickens step in and decide to give their opinion.
I don’t think you thought this through very well.
Do you know how stupid you’d look walking down the street talking without a phone?

[Gary Huff] “”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.”
Do you always wade through all the options?
I use the same most of the time.SIRI knows a bit about context.
How about “Use the same settings as the movie I did yesterday, upload to my server and call me when you’re done” -
[Kevin Patrick] “Do you know how stupid you’d look walking down the street talking on a phone? “
Yes, people talking alone looks absolutely stupid.

Apple has had voice commands on its mobiles, too, for quite a while. But this is of a different order. I think Siri will be huge and the other phone manufacturers are going to have to start playing catch-up. Apple describes Siri as beta which is unusual for them and there are clearly limitations and some glitches with it at present. But most people using it seem to be very impressed. Apple and Microsoft are both very interested in this type of AI and are putting serious money into it. You may not like Siri but you won’t be abel to ignore it or similar developments whichever platform you use.

[Jacob Kerns] “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.”
Not to mention how annoying this would be.
We already have plenty of rude idiots with USI, who already don’t know when it’s proper to curb their cell phone usage, lets give them something else they can use to annoy the rest of the world.Scott Sheriff

So, those of us who don’t see voice editing as a viable input paradigm would have also poo-pooed the current mobile revolution.
Your leap is quite astounding.

[Sohrab Sandhu] “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.”
If we couple Siri with our iSight webcams, then we can edit like producers:
“Cut… NOW!”
*waves arms and snaps fingers*Alternately, producers could replace editors altogether.
