*DISCLAIMER: I have an AT&T Lumia 920 without Amber*
Back when the Microsoft TellMe team announced that users should see more accurate, faster results, I noticed them.
Was it faster..? : Yes
Was it more accurate...? : Yes
But I still found myself wanting more accuracy. For example, prior to the TellMe server improvements, I would say "Note: Pay the dish bill" and it would NEVER get it right, and even after the server update it still didn't get those types of things right: it almost made it seem like the improvements they had made feel like nothing because speech still wasn't that functional to me (in the way I needed) due to rate of error.
However...
A recent article said that the Amber update unlocks stereo recording (AGAIN, I DO NOT HAVE AMBER ON MY ATT 920), and when I watched the sample video, I had realized the the functionality of sound input had improved (resulting clearer OUTPUT of sound through the video). I didn't pay this video any mind until I used TellMe speech one day (immediately after receiving an extras+info update about 2 weeks ago) and noticed that it had gotten me right for the first time. I kept trying it because I couldn't believe it, and it kept working (and has been).
I know the article says Amber unlocks it, but I honestly think the extras+info update unlocked the use of the 3 microphones: how else would I notice immediate improvement before receiving Amber? Amber may have included the extras+info in it, or maybe people got the extras+info after they installed Amber (with Amber being installed on that person's phone causing Marketplace to recognize that they needed the extras+info update since they were running Amber now).
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed these improvements as well (way after the server updates), and with the recent update of Amber and extras+info update. Has speech been more accurate?
