Coulda sworn we already knew this. Anyway, I assumed it: Siri has problems with the same words that Nuance's other products do, in my experience. Google Now has problems, too, but with different words.
I think Nuance is based off of earlier technology.
Indeed, it is a legacy of work begun in the 70s. And it's a sad history, too.... The inventors of the amazing technology, Mr. & Mrs. Baker, got swindled and lost control over their own IP. Sadly, most recent court decisions have sided with the big Wall St. bankers.
