For grins, ask Siri "what is the meaning of life?" For you Douglas Adams
fans, you'll be surprised.

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.

recognition has a hard time with proper names. 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.
