Apple to Add Siri to Computers This Fall

Siri, Apple's popular digital voice assistant, could be coming to MacBooks this fall.

The rumor is being fueled by news the United States Patent and Trademark Office has released a patent application for the desktop version of Siri for MacBook.

Siri first appeared and became popular in 2011 on the iPhone 4S, with the "S" standing for "Siri."

Apple is finding ways for Siri to become more a useful digital voice assistant to its wider customer base.

The recent patent called the "Intelligent Digital Assistant" describes how Siri can be useful for Mac users.

The Siri application can dwell in the dock or in the Mac background. It can be activated by either by voice or gesture.
