Apple I ate 5 of these, and lets just say I'm very surprised the doctor recommended it.

Post iPhone 3GS - Voice Commands!

Hi all, Got my iPhone 3GS 32GB on Saturday and i'm liking the speed increase over my 3G, however the voice commands, brilliant idea and about time really but it doesn't seem to work brilliantly, for me anyway. Whether it's my Stoke accent i'm not sure but "Play Songs by Kaiser Chiefs" comes out as "Playing songs by The Creeps" which I suppose sound a little the same but "Play songs by Prodigy" came out as "Playing songs by Darude"???

Anyway just wondered whether you guys had perhaps had any problems or is it just me!

Hi Mark,

I saw on one of the news feeds that I monitor when the announced the iPhone 3G that the voice recognition was geared towards americans and that people in the UK might have a problem using it.

I'm hoping that apple will create an updated voice recognition system thats based on UK English but i'm not going to hold my breathe!

Guess its a good excuse to start practising your american accent!

Hi Andy, Yeh I doubt they will bother and will will have to just put up with it until 4.0 at least anyway. I have tried it a few more times today and sometimes it works fine if I try and say it very clearly but if I don't concentrate its coming up with some stupid options. Only plus is it does make me laugh the rubbish it comes up with.
