Batu69 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Leaked screenshots reveal Siri in Mac OS X Sirri icons in OS X 10.12 Microsoft brought personal assistant Cortana to the desktop with Windows 10, and it appears that Apple is planning to do the same with Mac OS X 10.12. Screenshots obtained by MacRumors depict Apple’s digital assistant running on OS X, with icons showing up in the dock and the menu bar. And still, it appears that Apple might be aiming for a strategy that is slightly different from the one embraced by Microsoft. In Windows 10, Cortana replaces the search feature and can perform search both locally and online. Apple, however, will offer Siri alongside a search option, although that could change before the new feature goes live for users. At this point, the Siri implementation in Mac OS X is still in its early days, so it uses different icons for the menu bar and the dock. While the menu bar uses an icon that reads the word “Siri,” the dock icon is a rounded waveform that aligns with the design of the other icons. Furthermore, the menu bar icon is placed just near the search feature, which is living proof that a different implementation than Microsoft’s is in the cards. Apple is believed to be planning a public preview of Siri on Mac OS X at WWDC in June, and during this event, the company is also expected to demo an early version of iOS 10. Digital assistants on the desktop Microsoft brought Cortana on the desktop with Windows 10 in an attempt to unify its platforms and offer a similar experience on all devices. Cortana comes on PCs with the same features as on mobile phones, so it’s offering a wide array of goodies that are suitable for all devices. Apple might want to follow the same path as Microsoft and thus bring together its devices even more, although it’s not yet very clear how exactly Siri on the desktop is going to work. Hey Siri is already supported, and the chances are that all features currently on the iPhone will be implemented too, although some other specifically tailored for the desktop could also be added. Without a doubt, Apple and Microsoft will go head to head in the digital assistant fight, but for the moment, Redmond still seems to lead the pack and be the first to come up with new implementations.

More info here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bianca-bosker/siri-coming-to-mac-desktop_b_2632036.html Use your voice to enter text on your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202584 If anything Microsoft got the Idea from Apple as Cortana its a knock off of Siri and did not come out tell 2014.. Siri came out in 2011 The reason they pushed it on desktop faster was in hopes they could sell windows pcs and phones were others smart phones have been out selling windows brands since 2013 another reason is Cortana makes up for lost revenue and helps pay for windows 10 trough data harvesting , But for now the masses are still on Windows 7. but as people leave windows 7 for other O/S phones are not far behind of becoming the 1st and 2nd most used O/S(es) in the world . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana_%28software%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siri More info here from 2014 Leaked Video Offers Glimpse Of Microsoft's Siri Knockoff http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bianca-bosker/siri-coming-to-mac-desktop_b_2632036.html the reason for this there fixing to put Viv on IOS instead of siri. More Info here Viv is planned to be brought too MAC OSX one day too. none of this not true hype is going to help them sell more devices with Cortana on them than Apple is selling with Siri and soon Viv . I want believe it too tell i see they do anyways Microsoft is the one in the slump not Apple, IOS sells new devices well and windows 10 is still a free upgrade .for old devices.. Microsoft are dreamers and it's news dont match reality its like fortune telling . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
