"Among smartphone users ages 18-24, 48% use voice recognition software, and use of the "Siri" voice recognition software among iPhone users increased from 40% to 52% between 2013 and 2015. This translates into 15% of all U.S. broadband households using Siri" said Parks Associates in a recent press release.
