Hello Richard and Carol, I always noticed that SIRI has received greatly varying feedback, for some people like you and Carol it seems to not work very good at all and for others including myself it works very well almost all of the time. I say almost all of the time because I also do sometimes experience problems like I tell it to call a certain number where I actually say the digits and it comes back saying "Calling Oud" where Cliff Oud is a person in my contact list and for some reason when this does happen it always gets stuck on him. Other times I cancel it in such a case and then when I press and hold the home button again I don't hear the tone that it is ready to listen. Usually I just wait for a bit and it works again, but using Dictation especially when I use the "Dictate" button on the virtual keyboard does seem to work for me at least 9 out of 10 times. What I don't know is how often you guys are trying to use it, I sometimes use it several times a day and then again I may not use the Dictate feature for 3 days at all. I somehow think that if it doesn't work for somebody this may have to do more with where you are and your ISP because I have often tried SIRI when I read posts from several people that it wasn't working and it worked fine for me. Anyhow, come iOS 6 I do look forward to having more SIRI features available to me, I am in Canada so at this point local search for example does not yet work, but I also hope that the service overall will become more stabil as it officially goes from Beta to a full service.

I have had almost no luck with Siri for several weeks. I've done all the turning it off, rebooting the phone, turning it back on, etc. Siri, is a beta, and in my experience a very poor beta. When it works, it is brilliant, but it doesn't work most of the time for me. This has nothing to do with Fleksy. I had these problems way before Fleksy was even talked about, let alone released.

Yes, I'm wondering too. Can anyone else shout up and say they actually do have a problem with Siri dictation and they also have installed Fleksy recently? Think I may take out Fleksy and give a test because I'm certainly not happy with Siri right now!
