Never defend a technology! Technology is meant to develop to serve the requirements/limitations of existing human behaviour; human behaviour shouldn't be expected to adapt to meet the requirements/limitations of technology.
I also noticed this!
There is no way these charts are accurate. Even when I speak as clearly as possible and enunciate every syllable, Siri understands me about 40% of the time.
I get 90% accuracy, I don't know what's going on with you.
When I got iOS 7 I did notice a pronunciation correction. There's a town nearby called Braselton, pronounced "Brah-zel-ton." Siri had been pronouncing it "Bray-zel-ton." It's correct on TBT directions now. But she still can't pronounce "sugar" like there's an h after the s.

Until Apple adds on-device voice parsing (like Google does) and rely less on server based transcription, Siri will never be as good and fast as Google Now.
You're being ridiculous. So you're saying a person should be able to mumble, speak in a lazy manner, speak unusually fast or mispronounce words and a "computer" is suppose to fully understand a human??? GTFOH.
Half the time she just says she can't help me at this time since upgrading. Way worse then IOS6 for me.
Haven't you ever heard of the "new math"? It was all the rage back in the 70's and 80's. The kids from that era now work for the media, spewing forth whatever numbers they get without analysis or question.
I'll wager there's some overlap leeway. Or the rounding up/down just created a slight anomaly on the percentages.
This is what I was thinking.
This has never, ever happened to me. Do you only use Siri at 2:00 a.m. when they run their updates?
It's truly amazing that Apple and Google are able to create these apps. The variation in voice, pronunciation, tone, pitch, amplitude, dialects, languages, and so on is amazing. Having a machine be able to sort this all out with such speed and accuracy is even more amazing.
I finally was able to upgrade to a 5s, and am starting to use Siri more and more every day.
