    I recently installed the April 2021 update. The purple is kind of pleasant, but I am not getting along well with the new voice recognition system. The Help file is not helpful, and looks like it was not updated to match the actual software.

    For example, it says that one of the available voice commands is "Navigation." But when I say "Navigation," it hears "Location" instead.

    But the worst part is using voice to compose text messages. In the previous version, I could say "I'm on my way comma and I'll be there soon period" and it would type "I'm on my way, and I'll be there soon." The updated version doesn't recognize punctuation marks, and if a text has multiple sentences, they all run together. I tried pausing to see whether it would add punctuation, but if I pause too long it thinks I'm all done with the message.

    Has anyone had better luck with the new voice interface?

    Good grief, why is it that software keeps getting worse and worse with every update?
