I have a friend from Scotland who has just ordered a 4s and is really excited about Siri. I'll be interested to see how it gets on with his thick Dundee accent (especially since I can barely understand him half the time!).



Like this, no doubt:

Yea this is the problem I'm not sure that they've solved. There are loads of regional accents in the UK, and only one setting in the language options called 'British English'


Well everyone from the UK sings with an American accent (except the Proclaimers, of course) so I don't think must adjustment will be needed.


You need to start listening to some better UK bands.
