Siri's performance is mind blowing

I am finding far improved recognition on iOS 7.
I can finally set a timer for 8 minutes and it doesn't think I want a table for eight people.
In all seriousness, everything I've said to Siri has been recognised 100% so far, far better performance than iOS 6's version.

Siri is much better in the GM compared to beta 6. The recognition, speed and response language is much improved. I asked Siri last night who won a college football game and I quickly was shown the score and a few stats.
Siri in IOS7 compared to IOS6 is leaps and bounds better.

And as long as you speak in a robotic accent
And as long as you don't live in Australia
And as long as it is deathly silent without a soul around
I had this exact problem, the Siri voice (UK or US) was so muffled, but after a few days it has miraculously fixed itself and it's back to normal now. Not quite sure what happened but it's definitely clear as a bell now.
I've owned a Galaxy Nexus and Google's wasn't ever faster or easier to use than Siri. More times than not, I had hit the screen at least once after using it to get the result displayed correctly or read out loud or something, but no it was never faster than Siri.
Same here. Siri has always been about a billion times better than Google's botched knock off attempt.
The voice recognition still sucks.
I asked it to play some Kanye West the other day and it showed me a map of Paris.

Is Siri able to give you the Minnesota Gophers football scores? All it ever gives me is the Vikings score or schedule.
Huh
Siri has been TERRIBLE for me for the last few betas, half the time Siri just fails to respond, and the rest of the time takes at least 10 seconds to do anything.
I do remember remarking that Siri's performance around beta 3 was incredible though.
Maybe I need to do a fresh install.
I'm sure the OP is talking about SIRI in the GM release.

I set it to UK and here in India it recognizes my accent and the Indian names amazingly well... Since beta 2 actually... I was extremely surprised and am very happy... As I am riding around town most of the time I have to make calls through my helmet bluetooth headset...
I have an HTC One. It is not on 4.3 but I will race my Mini with Siri against the One with Google. Bet Google wins, it smokes!
You said "beta", so I just assumed.
You may want to check your DNS settings. I was having the same issues as well and finally figured out that it was simply a DNS issue. I updated the DNS settings on my iPhone, and it has made a world of difference.
My Siri queries consistently fail the first time, but work very quickly the second time. Not sure why. Connection is always good, so that's not the issue.

o-h!

My iPhone 5 did that consistently as well - Siri couldn't "take any requests" if I tried after the device had been idle for a while; the subsequent try always worked immediately. To fix it, I disabled Siri - closed all apps and restarted the phone for good measure, enabled Siri again and it is working wonderfully now on the first attempts after having been idle.
I agree, but the Gophers gives Siri fits at least for me. No matter how I ask, Siri only returns info on the Vikings.
If you use their full mascot name, it works just fine...
