siri can't understand me anymore!

So in my case, it turned out to be a bad microphone, in particular the microphone in the earpiece. I did a lot of troubleshooting with recording audio in various ways. Audio in movies I recorded was fine. Audio in the voice memo app was fine. But audio in those little audio snippets you can send in Messages was muffled and had a lot of background noise, and what finally clinched it was bad audio (muffled and with a lot of background noise drowning out my voice) when I shot video using the selfie camera. If that audio sounds bad, the primary microphone that Siri uses is shot or has a bad connection and needs to be replaced. It's a $300 repair, so I bought a new phone instead. 😟

Same problem here too. I used to be able to dictate long texts and emails and Siri would get the whole thing 90% correct. I used to be really impressed. A month or two ago, I forget if it lined up with an iOS version update or not, everything changes and suddenly Siri is worse than useless at voice recognition.

What I said #1: Siri is worse than useless at voice recognition

What Siri heard: Siri is good for me

What I said #2: That is really not even close to what I said

What Siri heard: That Walmart

WOW.....

Rude much? No one is gonna "open a ticket". Apple is not here. Just users trying to help each other out. Go straight to Apple like the article says after you try the steps, which I will assume you didn't do. If you don't want help, why did you even ask?

Example: what Siri heard: I want to take a FaceTime from three what

What I dictated “I’ll dictate a response and see what Siri says.”

Siri used to be amazingly good. Now she’s terrible. I am now having to type every text. It is beyond frustrating.

Ditto! Nothing I say is what Siri hears and types back. And half the time Siri puts its own name into what I’m dictating, but I never uttered the word “Siri.”

I’m not even bothering with the Siri feature from now forward. It literally makes me want to scream. I used to use Siri all the time with my iPhone 6, but it’s bunk with the iPhone 8.

Same here. New iPhone 8. It’s totally useless. I’m a guitarist. After years with an iPhone I am now a Get a Tourist. I just sent this to my boss.: “And I will send it PDF from work. I am leaving all over the road my other By his rectum now“. Let’s hope I’m not fired. And my god ****** name has been Bruce for 58 years. Not Robert.

At risk of being rude, every text I send now ends with “Seriously? Are you ******* kidding me?”, which Siri understands perfectly. No one at the other end can make any sense of it. I’m turning it all off. Brand new phone. Also my last Apple.

I see you posted this last year in October but I’m pretty frustrated also I speak perfect English I was born in America but I speak to Siri and she comes up with the artist words that don’t even exist in the dictionary sometimes, like above I did not say artist words I said hardest words, artist, not artist not August odd list .....****, now im typing, I said ODDEST WORDS

So the words above artist hardest August is what Siri came up with when I said the word oddest.

I don’t know what’s happened Apple lately but I feel like I have a 1990 flip phone nowadays my wife has an android Samsung that’s just amazing I don’t think I’ve seen any really useful Apple updates the last three years,

That’s funny but I know you’re not making it up I had the same thing happen while I was driving I texted my boss and said “I’m homo away see you gay soon” But what I really said was I’m on my way I’ll see you soon, my boss is from Russia and when I explained it it made me talk to the phone to prove it to them luckily it came up with a different derivation and it said, “I am Roma to my vau CTU Boone”

I know it’s not my voice because I have Google Chrome installed and when I use Google voice control I can literally talk as fast as I want with a fake Indian accent and it still puts the words in there perfectly...

Apple died when Steve Jobs died what a shame

Well I just got an iPhone X and it’s worse than my iPhone 6 that I had, but you know it’s funny if I talk with a fake Indian accent it understands every word I wonder who the programmers are and where they’re from, I’m so done with Apple And it says I cannot reply it says post limit reached please try again in a few moments what the **** is that, I’m so sick Apple being the moral police

Please keep us posted. I'm having the same problems with the iPhone X.

If I'm trying to find a family member, Siri will only hear "Find" or think I said "find me"

I’m having the same issues. What I say isn’t even close to what is tuped
