</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, tell Siri to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">"Email [name or nickname] about [subject]" produces a nicely formatted, but empty Mail message that Siri asks you to complete via dictation like the sample message above.</span></span><br />

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are 10 samples:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Roll a Random Number.</span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px;"> </strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Say "Wolfram, random integer."</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Look up nature facts<strong style="font-weight: bold;">. </strong>Say, "Wolfram, what is the scientific name of a mountain lion?" It's Puma concolor. Rabbits are Leporidae, and Peacocks, Galliformes.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Check upcoming holidays</span>. Say, "How many days until Thanksgiving?" This returns both the number of days as well as a helpful calendar so you can chart out the time until then.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Create a secure password.</span> Say "Wolfram, password." Wolfram generates a difficult-to-crack 8-character password. Scroll down for alternates. If you need a longer password, you can append these together.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Convert text to Morse code.</span> Say, "What is Morse code for horsefeathers?" You'll see the entire sequence laid out for your tapping pleasure.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Check your diet</span>. Say, "How many calories in a small apple?" Wolfram will tell you that there are 75.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Ask out about time zones</span>. Say, "Wolfram, what is the local time in Jakarta?"</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Query about your chances</span>. Say, "Wolfram, what is the probability of a full house?" For a random five-card hand, it's apparently 1 in 694.</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Have fun with pop culture</span>. Say, "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" or "Wolfram, who shot the sheriff?"</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Visualize colors</span>. Okay, I've saved the best for last. If you work with colors, this can save you a lot of time. Say, "Wolfram pound sign E 9 7 4 5 1" (for Burnt Sienna / Tangerine) or "Wolfram pound sign 2 9 A B 8 7" (for Jungle Green).</span></span></li>
