In my experience(English as a second language) it's actualy useless and recognizes maybe 30% of what I say. In my native tongue it's even worse than that, but that's a moot point as if I try to mix and say "[in my native tongue] navigate to [in English]Queen Victoria's Hospital" it will just never work. That combination has actual 0% success rate but it's unavoidable living in the UK. As does trying to call anyone with a non-English name, trying to do say "call Jędrzej Kazimierzowski" just leads to either it dialing someone completely unrelated or just saying "Sorry, I don't recognize that".

I don't mean this in any derogatory way what so ever, but I am curious about this in general. Does being misunderstood inspire a feeling that you should improve your accent?

		I am a native English speaker who practices my spanish pronunciation using Apple Translate and Siri (I think they use separate models), no matter how hard i try, neither can understand some words with my speaking Spanish with a southern US English accent. On a professional level, one of my specialties is designing Amazon Connect call centers, its gotten better over the years. But the NLU for English still struggles with my southern accent. On the other hand, ChatGPT never struggles with my English or Spanish.

		No, it inspires a feeling of deep hatred towards this stupid system that cannot understand simple commands that any English person would understand without any issue whatsoever. (and I do actually genuienly blame whatever voice recognition algorithm they are using - I use the interactive voice chat feature of ChatGPT daily and it has 100% success rate, no problems understanding my English whatsoever).
