Hi!
I don't mean to turn this into private and also don't mind sharing a few basic things about me so the members are able to get some picture.
I'm from Croatia, Europe, one of former Yugoslavia  republics.

Hi there, no offense, but if this is going to turn into a private conversation, 
please take it off list, private conversations are for you and the individual, 
and you probably don't want them to be shared publicly and found very easily 
via a Google search. I don't mean to seem rude in the way I write this, just 
trying to help you out.

Hi!
The main trouble is that Siri is language dependent.
I use my phone in my language which, of course, Siri is not supporting. When I 
want it to perform some task like setting the alarm it works, but when I want 
to call or text someone it's getting very unconvinient. In previous versions, I 
believe prior to 6.1.2 I was able to tell Siri to call someone by pronouncing 
the persons name as I would in my language. Now I need to pronounce the name as 
the native English speaker would do and that's a tongue gymnastics in my 
language xD.
If someone is not native English speaker I'd rather recommend Dragon Dictation 
which really surprised me with its precision of captioning spoken text.
Not sure if the Googles voice recognition app could be installed on IOS but 
from what I tested by using Youtube Voice Search it also works great.

I have not found this to be true -- for calling someone it works fine,
but I can't give it two sentences of text without an error or several
and by the time I have to correct the errors, I may as well type the
text.

It is usually reliable, but remember it is server-based. Your device listens to 
you, sends the audio to Apple's servers, and then gets the text of the audio 
back (parsing audio locally would be very resource-intensive and would likely 
be slower than even the cloud-based method in use now). Siri can do a lot and 
generally gets things right, but it is not perfect. Still, for setting an 
appointment or reminder, sending a text, calling someone, looking for 
businesses, doing a web search, launching an app, and so on, it works well and 
is quite a time-saver. The next version of iOS, due out in a few weeks, will 
increase Siri's functionality to system tasks, so you can tell it to turn on 
Voiceover or turn off bluetooth, among other new commands. The iPhone 4S and 
newer has Siri, as does the iPad 4 or newer, the iPad Mini, and the iPod Touch 
5 or newer.

Hi, it is quite reliable, but it all depends on what type of service you are 
expecting from it.

Dear IOS Users,
I do not own an IOS device.  I wanted to ask about Sirie's reliability with 
Iphones, Ipads, and Ipods (I don't even know if they have it on ipods.) I 
wanted to know the reliability.  Also, I have heard that there is Sirie in 
other languages.  What's the reliability on that?
Thank you so much.
Nikki
