Hi. Dictation works better for some appose to all as it depends on regional
accent here in the UK. For example. Siri tends to work better for people who

I've given up on Siri as well. It's a bloody gimmick to be honest with you. I'm
sorry for my negative views on modern day technology but I am just giving the
list feedback from my own experience and what I've heard from other people.
