How it works in Remi
- Press and hold the + button.
- Say the reminder the way you would say it to a person.
- Remi fills in the title, the time and any repeat. Check it and save.
On iPhones that support it, speech recognition runs entirely on the device. Voice input is part of Premium.
Things you can say
- "Renew passport early November": an Early November reminder.
- "Clean out the garage end of October": Late October.
- "Book the dentist next month": sometime next month.
- "Change the water filter every 3 months": a quarterly repeat.
- "Car insurance every year in March": yearly, in March.
- "Visit Lisbon": no date at all, so it goes into Someday.
Voice for the vague stuff
Most voice assistants want a precise time, which is fine for "remind me at 6 to call Sam". The things that slip are the vague ones, and those are exactly what you can say to Remi without translating them into a fake date first.
For reminders that do have a clear day and time, Siri, the Calendar app and Control Center all work as well, and setting a reminder on iPhone step by step walks through each of them.
Questions
Can I add a reminder by voice without a specific date?
Yes, in Remi. Press and hold the + button and say it. A reminder with no date becomes a Someday reminder, and phrases like "early November" or "next month" become approximate reminders.
Does Remi's voice input work on the device?
On iPhones that support on-device speech recognition, yes: Remi asks for recognition to run on the device.
