Siri and Apple understands us

I was slumped in the chair yesterday and by one of those strange coincidences this popped up on my phone. I was definitely selected low power mode :-)

When I read the title 'Siri and Apple understand us' I was thinking "Well Siri definitely doesn't understand me", I don't like using Siri much.

I think I have a problem with the volume of my voice. When I speak I like to hear my voice but to some it may come across as a bit shouty, well judging by some reactions anyhow.

There have been times where I have practically muttered words, or at least I thought I did, but some folk have heard them pretty clearly.

I remember when I had a webcam and installed microphone, when someone asked me to speak on the mic they couldn't understand what I was saying, apparantly I sounded like a bear haha.

So when it comes to Siri I am often repeating the same phrase over and I try to make it as clear as I can too but it isn't much use. I find it easier to type the phrase instead, at least Siri will then understand haha.

I do have impaired speech as nerves were bruised during my first operation on my head and I cannot naturally press my lips together so pronouncing words including Bs, Ps and Ms can be a bit of a chore sometimes.

For some reason haven't managed to be fully charged, for it feels like ever, limping along with warp engines offline.

I never feel refreshed nor really tired.

No matter what I do; rest or do lots of activity it seems the same. Yet feel strangely off - impulse engines only

I have asked several specialist and the only answer I get is that this comes with the head injury club membership

They are probably right! I do have moments with warp engines online, but it lasts well it doesn't!
