I just want decent on-device voice recognition for things like asking the Assistant to send text messages. So tired of having to repeat myself 5 times.

- callalex 3y agoThe latest Apple Watch models do this and it’s so much nicer.
- nmfisher 3y agoEven with the recent improvements to iOS speech recognition, I've felt that Android recognition has always been better. Not the case?
- smt88 3y agoI've extensively used both iPhones and Pixel phones for years. Siri is astonishingly, infuriatingly bad. It's hard to imagine anyone on the Siri team uses it daily like I do. It works well ~30% of the time and is bafflingly non-deterministic. Google is much, much better, but it's still not objectively great. It's closer to 80% of responses being reasonable, which is still unacceptably low.
- Angostura 3y agoSiri and speech recognition are somewhat different. iOS seems to transcribe my spoken words reall very well most of the time.
- mostthingsweb 3y agoThe actual recognition is quite good. It's just the handling of poor/intermittent network issues that is abysmal.
- cglong 3y agoI've had this going back to the Pixel 4. Do non-Google phones still not have this?
- mostthingsweb 3y agoI also have only had Pixels basically since they were released. I guess where I have issues is when the phone has a weak signal, and it insists on trying to use it for voice recognition rather than just falling back to local.
