There was a time a few years back where Google's speech recognition was virtually flawless (at least for my voice) but nowadays it verges on useless. I've had similar experiences with Google Maps (specifically navigation) and Google Translate. My understanding is that the implementation of these products is now mostly ML driven whereas in previous iterations ML was just one aspect of it. Curious to know how much truth there is to that or if I'm just viewing things with rose tinted glasses.

You speak clearly, enunciate your consonants, and keep a consistent pace and even tone. When I used my "computer voice" on Android I could carry on a text or IM conversation with my phone sitting in my pocket. Nowadays it hasn't gotten any better at understanding my natural drawl but the "computer voice" fills the sentences with bizarre punctuation and randomly-capitalized words that make me look like a lunatic. I really don't know just what the hell my phone wants from me anymore.
