Even with the recent improvements to iOS speech recognition, I've felt that Android recognition has always been better. Not the case?



I'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.


Siri and speech recognition are somewhat different. iOS seems to transcribe my spoken words reall very well most of the time.


The actual recognition is quite good. It's just the handling of poor/intermittent network issues that is abysmal.
