Continuing my rant...

I know that Siri is impaired by choices Apple's made wrt to privacy or some such.

But why does local voice recognition fail so often? Like while hiking or I'm in the basement. Surely some hybrid is possible. Does Siri really need network access to process a stop playback command? (I do fuss with the Voice Control features every few months, to see if things have improved.)

Warning, idea incoming:

I want the ¡Tchkung! voice interface. Pops, clicks, buzzes, Looney Tunes sounds effects. Why are we limited to just speech recognition? Why can't I beatbox to control my phone?

In the 80s, there was a comic who'd straight read serious writing, adding sound effects for the punctuation. Hysterical (at the time). Sorry, can't remember name. But I want to make sounds for punctuation, backspace, back one word, newline, etc.
