Karen: is that Siri or voice-over? can also make a right hash of reading. I
play Sporcle's Word
Ladder game a lot, and have found that, for me at least, it is essential to
flick my way through a
clue to ascertain if what voice-over/Siri seemed to be saying was, in point of
fact, the clue, and,
very often, it was nowhere near it.

Yes, it does get things wrong although I assume if you had perfect
pronunciation and clear speech
there wouldn't be many mistakes. If, for example, I dictate in German which is
my first language it
is almost perfect, but then again German spelling is also a lot simpler than
English spelling since
typically there aren't two or sometimes maybe even 3 different ways to spell
certain words as in
English. For example, "there" and "their", "hear" and "here", "bear" and "bare"
etc. Anyhow, I did
say " except for any potential mistakes" and I definitely don't want to defend
SIRI because
sometimes it really does interpret what you say in interesting ways and I think
we all hope for
major improvements both with dictation and especially with what queries SIRI
can answer and how it
can handle more compound queries.

Sieghard

I have to disagree, in that, Siri doesn't write exactly what you said: Siri
writes what he * thinks
you said, and that can make an embarrassing difference.

Whenever you are dictating it's like you are writing the information, except
for any potential
mistakes SIRI will put exactly what you say. Dictation is also done via SIRI,
but it is just voice
recognition just the same as when you dictate a text message. Then if you
dictate a phrase or
whatever and you are in the Youtube search box then of course whatever is found
is up to how Youtube
matches what you said.
If you use SIRI and ask "When was Albert Einstein's birthday" or something
similar the answer
depends on what sources SIRI has available and is checking for answers. Here
SIRI is not as good as
other virtual assistants such as the one from Google which seems to come up
with useful information
more often.

I guess what I was noticing is that when I dictate a query in the search field
in YouTube I can use
very natural speech and it brings me up pretty near exactly what I'm looking
for. When I asked Siri
a question what determines whether she'll be able to answer it or not? What she
will find? Why is
the performance so much less able to recognize the nature of the information I
am seeking?
