John Gruber@gruber

Just me or is Siri getting a lot faster? Faster to parse verbal input, and faster to return results.

@gruber yes. Successfully dictated two relatively tricky messages, in my Scottish accent, whilst in the car today.

@gruber I noticed that a few weeks ago. It’s a great improvement.

Oliver Foggin@oliverfoggin

@gruber more accurate too. Especially with “Hey Siri” I can ask it questions from across the room and almost 100% correct.

@gruber Japanese Siri still stinks. Too verbose, slow and unnatural in responses too.

@gruber iOS 8 seemed to start parsing as you speak. It seems more reliable now too.

@gruber holding down the home button for help, has become as natural to the iPhone as any other function the home button serves. Siri 2.0?

Daniel Domene@DomeneATX

@gruber The beep-beep sound she makes carries a wide-spectrum pulse that stuns you for 5 seconds, so you *feel* it's faster :)

@gruber Parsing is definitely better, but context not so much. Searching for a local business last week resulted in yet another exotic city.

@gruber that’s good. Then it can spew out “I can’t take any requests right now” faster.

@gruber She's been a lot more on-point as of late - even self-correcting on some initial mis-hears.
