for iOS 5.1 software

Notes
Use Siri to verbally jot down notes, or look up notes you’ve already made. Say things like:
Note that I spent $12 on lunch Â
Note: check out that new Alicia Keys album Â
Find my restaurant note Â
Create a reading list note Â
Add Tom Sawyer to my reading list note Â
Siri displays the note for you to review. To edit the note, tap it. Siri opens the Notes app for you,
and you can edit the note by typing or dictating. See “Dictation” on page 55.
Safari
You can do a web search with Siri—specify which search engine to use, or search a site like
Wikipedia. For example:
Search the web for Bora Bora Â
Search for vegetarian pasta recipes Â
Search the web for best cable plans Â
Google the war of 1812 Â
Search Wikipedia for Abraham Lincoln Â
Search for news about the World Cup Â
Bing Alicia Keys Â
Siri opens Safari and performs the search you request. If you don’t specify the search engine, Siri
uses the one specied in Safari settings. Go to Settings > Safari.
WolframAlpha
Ask Siri to provide some information or perform a calculation, and Siri might refer to
WolframAlpha (www.wolframalpha.com). Responses often include related info.
Some sample questions and requests:
How many calories in a bagel? Â
What is an 18% tip on $86.74 for four people? Â
Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb? Â
How long do dogs live? Â
What is the Gossamer Condor? Â
