Siri can do several things that its Androi
counterpart cannot but one area where i
has been lagging behind is its ability to
understand English with an Indian
accent. Rather frustratingly, we have had
to fake an American accent to get Siri to
understand our voice commands. It look
like that problem may be solved soon.
According to a report in 9to5Mac , Siri
will soon start understanding English
spoken with an Indian accent. iOS 8.3
beta 2 is said to add Siri support for
languages such as English for India,
Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian,
Swedish, Thai and Turkish.
Our experience with Siri has largely been
positive because we learned to fake an
American accent for Siri. If you can't
manage that, then using Siri can be
frustrating. Siri also takes care of
dictation on iOS and that makes support
for Indian accents an exciting addition.
Pretty soon you'll be able to write featur
length articles without typing a single
word.

Apple is reportedly planning to switch to
a public beta process for future iOS
updates. The company currently only
allows developers access to beta release
of iOS in exchange for a fee. The move t
a public beta, where anyone is allowed t
test beta builds of software, will allow
Apple to eliminate bugs in iOS faster. Th
company is said to be focusing on
stability with iOS 9.
