Siri doesn't understand me and I am Pakistani

I have the same issue.... I am from pakistan too! and my accent is canadian(may be not 100%) but pretty **** close) and still i have to speak very clearly. otherwise it just throws bunch of random words at me!

Sadly, any voice recognition software will have difficulties with various accents or speech impediments.

Hopefully, Siri is learning, and more accented-speaking or international users in the future may help the language recognition database work more effectively. Here's hoping, anyway.

Can't say anything. Hoenstly I am not even thinking about Siri right now, I have a bigger issue of battery warming up and tyeh battery drainage. This phone is way less than what i expected and apple customer service uis aksing to wait and i am sure my phone will suffer from a physical battery damage by that time. I am dissapointed and actually done with apple. There are other good phones out there. I heard and used them too and they are pretty good!

Siri, is very specific about the pronunciation that it currently recognises. While someone may speak fluent English the variances in that spoken English are very wide. I would suspect that a Pakistani speaking fluent English will still carry traits of the native language. Certianly from my friends at work who speak fluent English as a second language the pronunciation is very different from me as a native Brit.

I am not one of those people who acts like they are smarter than everyone else and rudely corrects people when they say something like "you did really good," instead of "you did really well." Or, when somebody says "Pakistanian" instead of "Pakistani." But, when someone incorrectly tries to correct someone, I cannot resist. So, Bear HunterX, the term is Pakistani. If you are going to correct people, make sure you know what you are talking about. And, no, I am not Pakistani. I am an American and an Oklahoman (not an Amercanian or Oklahomian)."

Siri is still in beta. It doesn't yet have support for all the various English accents that people have around the world.

I just want to say that the proper term is actually Pakistanian, not Pakistani.

of course you are right that's why i bought it but without a reliable battery? really? I am not evern tlakign about any bells and whistles yet!

Siri is for me hopeless you see the ads on the tv talking to Siri it carrying out the task no problem That is not my experiance AT ALL never gets my complete sentence correct

I'm English from London (England), so a complete native speaker of a supported language, living in the States, and Siri dosn't understand me at all...

I'm from the East Coast (USA) and Siri has trouble understanding any word I say that has an R in in!
