Looks like Apple wants to improve voice control on the iPhone!

  Siri seems to be using Nuance (http://www.nuance.com/ http://www.nuance.com/) for speech recognition, so Apple doesn't seem to have bought any of the actual speech recognition technology.

    Siri uses Nuance, but loads it with it's own vocabulary. But you are correct, Apple would not acquire Siri for this reason. I think the real reason is the ip in this area and the natural language processing built into the server.

    I don't specifically mean speech recognition (although that could use an improvement), but some of the other features Siri would bring to that specific part of the iPhone. Good point though.
