Q: why doesn't siri talk her answers out

My friend here at work has the Android phone and he speaks into it to ask a question. His android comes back reading the answer out. Now I go and ask the very same question and siri says "let me take a look on the web" then displays the same answers on the screen as my friends phone reads it out. He is saying siri is garbage and that is why it won't work.

is this true?

Hey funkyphil1974,

Thanks for the question. Siri will read back dictated information when you use earphones or a headset:

When you use earphones or a headset, Siri reads back text messages and email messages that you've dictated before you send them, and it reads back the subjects of reminders before you create them. This is especially helpful when you're driving and can't see the screen.
