Apple Details Improvements to Siri's Ability to Recognize Names of Local Businesses and Destinations

They're enjoying crack more than improving Siri. And, with over 1 trillion market cap it'll be a while longer to see any real improvement other than lip service. Even worse is not giving you the freedom to change default assistant and/or navigation app.

WHAT ABOUT MULTI-LANGUAGE SPEAKERS?

It sounds as if Apple is now FINALLY somewhat headed in the right direction as to SIRI ... which, if so, is about time, as she has so much potential (our good 'ole Ms. Siri), but still has to show it to us user in daily life/use!

Under all circumstances I still (as as European speaking more or less 4 languages) need SIRI to much more easily than now being able to automatically detect which language I'm speaking, also when I'm using SIRI for speech-to-text messaging ... is this me expecting to much ... is it science-fiction rocket science or will that become possible within the next couple of year .... anyone!?

I’m in Seattle on a bus, driving past a line of folks waiting to get into The Moore Theatre, a very popular performance venue, I turn to my phone “Hey Siri, what’s playing at the Moore theatre?” and it responds: “I don’t see any theaters matching Moore theater near by”. Thanks for nothing, Siri.

I'll continue to not be lazy and look things up myself. Vocal assistants aren't nearly accurate enough for me to want to use them.
