I've never seen anything suggesting Siri is any smarter than just looking for keywords. One thing I've tried using it for is a timer while cooking, already a bit rubbish because iOS only supports one. But here's a sample of how that goes: Open Siri (hands free Hey Siri works for me 5% of the time at best) "timer 20 minutes" "Okay, 20 minutes and counting" A little later, oops that'll need 5 minutes longer than I thought "add 5 minutes to the timer" "are you sure you want to change the timer?" "yes, change it" "Okay, 5 minutes and counting" Great... Other than simple keyword commands like that its voice recognition doesn't seem to be good enough for things like transcribing messages anyway. It's sometimes quicker than spotlight for a web search because of that weird way spotlight hides the search web button for a few seconds when it can't find anything to show.
