I know a number of people who have a hard time with Siri because they talk
loud and slow and right in the mic. It seems to work better with just
natural speaking. Actually took me some time to get used to... I think of
computers as needing the extra "help."

Still will get some words wrong... it is far from perfect but generally
works well for me -- the few times I use it. Will try it on OS X when I
update.
