This is Siri. The first intelligent assistant that understands what you say and helps you do the things you need to do.

How does it handle regional accents? Can it understand my mother in Boston?
Apple Engineer
The neural network was trained on diverse North American dialects. Accuracy should be above 92% for most regional variations.
Steve Jobs
Siri is not just voice recognition. It understands context, remembers preferences, and gets smarter the more you use it.
Tech Journalist
So it's not just a feature - you're calling this artificial intelligence?
