Problem with Siri - both on the iPad and the iPhone - is that it is too slow.
It honestly doesn't speed things up for me (except for maybe setting the timer).
By the time I have activated it, told it to send a message to whichever person, dictated the message, corrected the mistakes Siri made and told it three times to "yes, send it, please" I could as well have opened the message app, typed the message and pressed send.
Even an internet search is faster without Siri.
I am a real fan of voice recognition, but if this "digital assistant" is supposed to make people's life easier, they need to increase accuracy and decrease response time DRAMATICALLY.
It has to work like the Star Trek Computer.
I think the problem is: using Siri is JUST NOT FUN.
It needs to become a fun experience, something people like doing.
Maybe the solution would be some kind of hybrid of local voice processing on the device and remote voice processing for more complex queries.
Google pretty much nailed it with their app.
OK, maybe it can't do much, but it is fun to use.
Using Siri at the moment is more of a frustrating experience, it's slow, it doesn't understand what you say and after using it, you get the feeling, it would have been easier to make those few clicks on the screen yourself.
So no, not using Siri much.
