Guest LilBambi Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Why can’t Siri announce caller name - BambisMusings Blog Everyone is so hyped about the possibility of an iWatch. An iWatch certainly would be awesome, especially if Apple does it. But they still haven’t been able to get a built-in standard feature.Seems to me it would be more important to get Siri to announce a caller’s name like any old LG phone like the enVTouch can do. Why should I have to trust a third party app that takes forever to assign individual ringtones to each Contact’s ID… just to get it to do something as standard as speaking the caller ID, even if it only did the caller ID as a Contact name it would be awesome. The only other way apparently is to turn on VoiceOver in the Settings > General > Accessibility. Whenever you receive a call it will automatically speak the callers name. This from the Verizon Announce Caller forum posting and the person also said, But as a heads up, the Voice Over feature is designed to speak everything you touch on the phone and will change the way your phone is used. Sigh… Quote

ross549 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Awesome! I think it would be a very nice feature to have. Adam Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I think so too. I don't want to use a third party app for something so basic to a phone. It should be built in. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks a lot Temmu ... Siri is now reporting me to the Intelligent something or other for harassment! Edited March 26, 2013 by LilBambi Quote
