I forgot to mention Siri actually interacts with your system the same way you do, so she has to respond to the results just as you would working from the keyboard. Also do not confuse Siri with Dictation. Siri is capable of issuing commands to other applications and the OS while Dictation is simply an alternative to the keyboard for entering data into the system. The similarity is both are dependent on the same voice recognition API.

You might consider giving Siri a try. I find her to be very helpful getting things done like sending text messages. I think she is essential on the Apple Watch and very helpful on the iPhone. The only problems I have with her are…
  1. She sometimes misunderstand my Texas drawl (She is getting better)
  2. She hears and responds to any conversations in the room equally which can have interesting results in a noisy environment (Apple is working on voice identification which could help solve this.)

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
