macOS Sequoia 15.1 Beta 5 體驗 Apple Intelligence

　　前幾週更新到 macOS Sequoia 15.0 ，和Sonoma 比起來實在感受不到什麼特別之處，主要是自己的iPhone 8 Plus 無法搭配，因為我最想要的功能是在MacBook Air M2 上直接操作iPhone 。再加上會在按到開機鍵時會莫名重開機，我只好手癢又將它升級到 macOS Sequoia 15.1 Beta 5

      坦白說，MacBook Air M2 是我的工作和生活兩用機，這麼做實在冒險，但也只能說自己不知道那一根筋不對勁。升級 Beta 5 之後也沒看到什麼功能，就是看到 Apple Intelligence 功能有了，啟用Siri 後試了幾下，我只能說中文版還是有待加強，只能等正式版。其實，這時候沒有 Apple Intelligence 功能啟用，你要先切換到English language 後重新開機，再加入 Waiting list。不到一小時我的Waiting list 就通過了。

第一個試用的功能就是 Writing Tools ，如上圖。我先打開 TextEdit 後，輸入一串英文句子，再選取想要它幫忙改寫的部份，右鍵選單 Writing Tools > Rewrite。就會得到改寫版本。

對英文寫作表達有需求的人，Writing Tools 真的是一大利器。在MacBook Air M2 16GB 上執行幾乎都是秒回，你會看到整個APP 閃了一下就完成了。

從上圖可以看出，Writing Tools > Make Professional 將我的破英文改寫後果然好多了。

接下來試一下"翻譯"功能：一樣選取文字後選"Translate"，再選來源語言及要翻成的目標語言後就完成。

英翻中沒問題，那麼中文翻譯成英文呢？實際測試結果是可以的。

以下是 Friendly / Professional / Concise 三種風格改寫結果，提供大家參考：

There are many things to catch up in the morning .

Then, I have a manager meeting in the afternoon.

—- Friendly

Guess what? It’s Friday! I’m back at work after a long weekend. I have a lot to catch up on in the morning, but I’m excited to get started. Oh, and I have a manager meeting in the afternoon, but that’s just part of the job. How are you doing today? Anything exciting planned?

— Professional 

Today is Friday, and I have returned to work after taking two days off due to Typhoon.

There are several tasks that need to be completed in the morning.

In the afternoon, I have a manager meeting scheduled.

2024/10/16 macOS Sequoia 15.1 Beta 7 釋出，之前使用 Beta 6 仍有不預期當機現象。看看這版有沒有改善。

2024/11/12 Sequoia 15.2 Beta 2 太容易當機，終於推出 Beta 3 ，第一時間更新，希望不要再當機或是黑屏。
