Sorry about the previous blank message. I usually use Siri either to get the weather or when I'm on the move and need to schedule an appointment or send a text. I have noticed a deterioration since IOS 9 came out. For example, I will attempt to schedule an appointment at 4:45, and Siri will insist on scheduling it for 4:00. I am trying to be patient, but this is beginning to be a problem. I usually only do this when I'm on the move, as stopping to use the Braille or onscreen keyboard is not convenient at those times. I ope this improves in IOS 10.
