Forget about questions, I cannot even get Siri on Apple TV to recognize what I am saying. I have often wanted to keep a kind of journal like this poster but I suspect it would recognize the correct words about 30% of the time.
My wife who, unlike me, is not a native English speaker has probably a 10% success rate. This is why any kind of forthcoming voice-response Apple device is completely a nonstarter to me.

Voice assist functionality could be 200% more awesome but if it specifically doesn't seem good at just recognizing what he has said such functionality is useless to him. This isn't terribly strange at all.

It might actually be better of Apple were to license the speech recognition or use the Cloud Speech API.
