tone and cadence of read speech is different than that of spontaneous speech

I don't think most people speak to their phone the same way they normally speak. For example, I always speak slowly, with perfect pronunciation and intonation when talking to Siri.

I think the goal is to let speak to your phone normally, not to continue having to speak like your phone is hard of hearing.
