Dictation issue with English when using Siri
Help! I am a Voice Dictation Failure! Siri must think I speak another language, when I dictate in English--my native language. However, my French dictation is much more accurate. Quand Même! When I say versus what Siri hears and then types are hilarious, except the fact that I depend on it and it's so inaccurate.
Is there any way to improve dictation accuracy?
Example:
I said this: For my family, attending church was about helping others—especially the underdogs. Social justice was very important.
Siri heard and typed this (Siri heard in Texas)
And my family, adventures, especially underdogs in Portland
AND SHE PREFERS FRENCH!
My native language is English. I also speak French & Italian.
My French dictation is significantly more accurate and its predictive qualities are more intuitive and accurate despite the plethora of homonyms. It uses context far better in French than in English.
Example:
I write Sophie a letter....
SIRI frequently produces it with "right," as in, "I right Sophie a letter."
In French, I rarely have problems with dictation:
Example: French homophones
- Mais: Means "but"
- Mes: Means "my"
- Met(s): Means "dish"
Does anyone know why?
