I find the voice recognition quite good for normal phrases. You can't be a slurry drawler.

For proper names and uncommon terms, they need to implement speak & spell. So if I say "Webb capital w e b b is a pelican capital p e l i c a n" it should understand that I'm spelling Webb and Pelican. Seems feasible.

Also some funny quirks.

"what is 294 divided by 13.5" gives 294/13, it doesn't recognize the decimal.

"tell my son I'll pick him up at four thirty" produces a text message to my son "I'll pick him up at 4:30", but "tell my son I'll pick you up at four thirty" produces the text message "I'll pick you up at 4:30". Seems easy enough to handle both forms.

"set a timer for twenty five minutes" creates just that. "Set a timer for the pie in 25 minutes" creates a web search for pie. "Remind me about the pie in 25 minutes" creates a reminder in 25 minutes for the pie.

"remind me to check the tire pressure tomorrow" creates a reminder at 9 am. Not sure where it gets that time. I have to say "make that 4 pm", which it does.

Stuff like that. I'd call it a 8 of 10 for a first version. Definitely like having it. I still don't know how to use it more than 10%.
