For me, what I get from Siri with VoiceOver on or not on seems to be quite random. I can ask it the same question with and without VoiceOver and there doesn't seem to be a difference. The difference is the time of day when I ask the question, and this depends on a lot of things. Sometimes when I ask for temperature, I will hear the temperature in madison is X. Sometimes, I will simply hear the temperature. So the answer to the same question can change and it seems, at least for me, that it is not voiceover specific.

While SIRI sometimes tells me it can't take a request or do something, usually it works as it should when it does things. Anyhow, I was wondering if anybody has actually taken the time to document this behavior in detail and submitted it to [email protected] which should be the first thing that comes to mind if something doesn't work and seems to be so because of Voiceover.
