Dictation on the Mac is pretty nice , for what it is , but Apple is n’t the first to pull in that off . According to a unexampled patent applications programme though , it might beeyeing something more ambitious : full Siri control on the Mac .
Here ’s an excerpt from a revise program :
The electronic machine may treat voice command locally or voice commands processing may be performed remotely . For example , the electronic gadget may transmit one or more recorded voice commands and relate contextual information to reckon equipment such as a desktop computing gadget .
Now , that comes with all the usual grip ups with patents . It could just be Apple spitballing . It could be defensive . Or it could be one of the 50 12 other reasons this would n’t see the light of day . But Siri on the Mac — if Siri ever mystify good — is a hopeful idea , and this shows it ’s at least crossed Apple ’s mind . [ Patently Apple ]
