Most dictation programs 'learn' the way you say things, Siri needs something similar so it get's better at understanding the user the more they use it.

That's it really, that's all I have for now. :D

As far as I know, it's true.
Everybody has own voice tone, and pitch.
Siri is designed to file up DB based on your own voice pattern,
So, the more you are interacting to it, the better it gets what you are saying.

This is what I heard from someone who work in voice-recognization company.
If this theory isn't right, please feel free to correct it. :)

I don't understand how though, since surely to improve it would need to know what it was getting right and what it was getting wrong.

How would it collect that?

Are we sure that this is going on in the background though? It would also require Apple to store each and every "error" on their servers. We already know they are analyzing the queries but these are two different beasts.

She certainly is getting better. I 6.0b1 if I asked the price of the All Ordinaries she said she couldn't Call order Marys. B2 gets it every time.
