Jewel, You can always find the message that you sent whether it be through Siri or you typed it out through the message program by just going into messages. In fact on your homepage up to you send a message if you swipe around you will see this is the message you sent to and you can hit the button and it will take you to messages and or might even read that message right there sort of a copy of everything you've done or asked Siri is sitting right there on your screen also, I don't see I don't know if you can alter the speed at which Siri speaks. I believe that was another one of your questions. Maybe somebody else on was can address that. Good luck
