Siri UK just literally doubled in speed I have noticed.

A its UK voice has also changed too to a younger-sounding, more bookish, less newscaster type. I'm using it here in Ireland and as of now the changes are pretty significant. I'm on wifi on my usual home wifi network that has been pretty fast for a few years and I use Siri semi-regularly.

    Does it understand Gaelic?

    We call our language Irish, and no one speaks it here. There are over 10 times more Polish speakers in Ireland than Irish speakers at this point. Gaelic is the Celtic language of Scotland.

    No need to apologise, man.

    Btw: http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/why-the-cad-mle-filte-isnt-always-what-it-seems-26027338.html (12-year old post from an outsider who is living in Ireland and is married to an Irish person with whom they have kids with Irish names)

    Ireland is not all roses. I'm from here and that's how I see the country.

    That narrows down the part of the country where you live. Now to use hints in other posts to pinpoint your location.

    I noticed a big increase in speed with iOS7, but one would assume that was the software itself getting better. If you've noticed a separate increase independent of a software upgrade then that suggests an improvement at the server end.

    Good job on both counts, Siri has gone from an often-failing gimmick to something I use pretty regularly.
