Remember this is with low quality sound. It could be much higher under better conditions. Amazon's echo relies on good hardware as much as software, with an array of good mics.

From talking to a few people that do SR it's also considerably easier to do when you know the hardware.

They can cancel out reverb and create very fine tuned waveform profiles for speech.

I think one of the reasons that Siri is slightly better at SR than google is because of the control that Apple has over the hardware.

While Cortana turns sourpuss on me every time I switch headsets.
