They might work "okay" if you're native speaker. As ESL speaker with an accent, it's nowhere near close. It's a total PITA beyond "what time is it".
- ryanianian 9y agoGood point. I changed Siri to Spanish to practice my speaking and comprehension, and it was a huge challenge. I assumed it was because Spanish support wasn't as developed as English, but I guess it's that there's not enough training for accents in any language.
- dx034 9y agoNot only native speaker, you also can't speak with an accent. Most speech recognition currently only works with a very "clean" language free of regional expressions or accents.
