Summary | Siri uses voice recognition, but it still struggles to understand regional accents, such as the Texas accent. Siri didn't understand Ben Crook when he asked her something. People usually adapt their voice and speech to the people they're talking to. They should do the same thing with virtual assistants; they should try to be polite and explicit, and not be colloquial.

Summary | British entrepreneurs and investors are doing good; the app Swiftkey was created by three Cambridge graduates and attracted the attention of Silicon Valley.
The Cambridge graduates founded Swiftkey, an app that uses artificial intelligence to predict the next word you can type. Nevertheless, Swiftkey is not the first UK company to be successful; Amazon was the first one. The reason why Britain is so strong in this competitive area might be because of the locations of the startups (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College and University College London)
