Hi,
I am trying to write an email using Siri on my Ipad 4 for the very first time.
I think i have set up Siri in the settings area ok and filled in the info required
Yet when i start siri by holding down the start button or whatever its called, it asks me what i want to do, so i say ? Write Email?
It then asks me to whom do you wish to send the email to, so i say the name of the person in my contact list that i wish to email, but Siri cannot find them.

I have tried every which way possible to get it to understand but am stumped
Can you help me in pointing out what i need to do or am doing wrong please.

Regards
Matrix :)

Create a test contact with the name John Doe and then ask Siri to compose an email message for the subject.

Some names Siri does not like or can not find.. But not to often an issue.


Oh and it's the Home button to launch Siri

Ok tried that and it still can't find them
I think me and Siri talk two different languages LOL

I hear ya..(laughing)...I created a contact called John Doe and then did the following:

1. Initiated Siri
2. Send an email to John Doe
3. When asked, I told Siri that the subject of the email is "test"
4. When asked, I said I wanted the message to say, "this is a test"
5. Of course, I opted not to send...:)

Check out the screenshot below.
Anyway, it worked so either Siri is not quite understanding your speech or there's a network related problem in your area. Of course, I'm only guessing...:D

Ok i tried the test thing and got the same results as you
but when i try to send an email to anyone else in my contact list siri cant find them
it always says " Sorry i can't find anyone with that email address" Yet i know they are there
Think i must have burnt out the swear machine this morning LOL
No network problem as i can view the web and all other internet based things no problem
i have even tried ammending contacts names to make it easier for Siri but with no luck
i am baffled !!!

I have found the problem, I had put the email address in the notes area instead of the Email area of my contact list
What a total div LOL
Thanks for your patience anyway
