That is very odd. I use the british accent, and siri understands my american speech. I don't doubt what you're saying, Jonathan, but my own experience has not mirrored it; however, maybe British accents would confuse an American Siri more than American accents would confuse a British Siri. Now I'm clearing out of here before something dreadful happens.
I have not had the courage to upgrade, by the way.
I know I'd like the new operating system, but, well, I'm afraid of getting stuck somewhere in the upgrade process.

So, Jonathan, are you saying that if I select American then I must speak with an American accent?

Hi Carol, when you change your language in Siri, you're not only changing Siri's voice, you're changing the dialect Siri is listening for. As a speaker of British English, if you use American English as your language, your results will be far worse.

Since upgrading to IOS7 I have noted a definitely lower standard of Siri's interpretation. Is this because Siri has started again from scratch for me, or something else? I have chosen to use the American female voice for Siri. Does this, perhaps, mean that my requests to Siri are being handled by a different server and not the one closest to me, thus a possible reason for the increase in errors?

Any comments would be most welcome.
