That's odd. I use Siri with CarPlay in my car and a very low-quality mic from an aftermarket headunit, and it's able to capture probably 80%, if not more, of my voice-to-texts when I'm trying to text people hands-free.

The only real issue Siri has there more often is when I ask it a more complicated query for playing music a certain non-trivial way, like "Play music by X from their latest album" or similar.

A lot of it comes down to your accent. It seems like Siri is trained well for a very particular voice, and if you fall in that range it works great.

If you fall outside that range... It might get one in three words correct.

For example, the memorable time I was letting my boss know I was running late because of what Siri chose to transcribe as "sick cunts".

(It was my children who were unwell.)
