What it is
Siri runs ASR on-device on modern Apple Silicon and falls back to the cloud for older hardware or unsupported locales. Dictation everywhere on iOS / macOS shares the same recognizer stack.
Best for: Apple-ecosystem users who want hands-free control of native apps and HomeKit accessories.
Watch out for: Siri retains a fixed-vocabulary feel for non-dictation tasks; full on-device ASR is available on A12-and-later iPhones but not all locales.
