I believe this software will do that. I have just been too lazy to figure it out.

Do real people actually talk to Siri? I like the basic concept, or at least where it is headed as some kind of personal assistant. But I think for the present I would be happier to interface with it by typing than talking to it. It just looks so . . . awkward . . . from what I have seen in the commercials, particularly if you are out in public (Of course, I haven't seen any of the celebrities in the commercials using it anywhere except in the privacy of their home, almost as though even Apple knows how embarassing it is). However, I guess they have to start somewhere.
