7. Dictation > Enunciation Practice

Enunciation Practice

Tongue-twisters provide a fantastic way for you to practice your Siri enunciation skills. Plus, they’re a lot of fun to try to say right. Siri responds directly to each of the following twisty sentences (see Figure 7-1).

• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

• How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

• What does she sell by the seashore?

• How many boards could the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?

• How many cans can a cannibal nibble if a cannibal can nibble cans?

Figure 7-1. Train your Siri enunciation skills with these Wolfram Alpha-sourced tongue-twisters. It only took us about five dozen tries (We refused to cheat and use the utterance-editing features) to get this one right.
