Well, I have used it for a year and have not been too impressed.  It especiY is challenging in a noisy environment.

The devices need to get used to our voices, and we need to get used to speaking in ways that make sense to the devices. also, voice recognition is based on prediction to some degree, so common utterances always yield better results than less common ones.

It does well on common names like Wendy, Frank, and Cecile, but it struggles with names that are more unusual. for example, I freelance for a company called Communicaid. Even though it's in my contacts and even though I send or receive calls about once a week and have multiple calendar events that include the company name, I can't get the recognizer to enter it correctly, so I either correct the name or type it, then use voice recognition on the rest of the calendar entry.
