Currently the voice dictation on iOS is based on the load in
the cloud for text conversion, so an internet connection is necessary that as
we all know, can sometimes return errors, loading times and according to some,
unauthorized use of their data.
According to some lines of code present for the first time
in iOS7 beta , future versions of the operating system may introduce the
conversion and processing of speech offline. The functionality is obviously not
active in builds public, but according to some rumors it would be in the form
of testing in some internal devices of Apple, could then be evaluated for
future use if the network conditions do not permit the use of the function
based on the cloud. The upcoming release of OS X Maverick enable the
functionality of dictations offline by downloading a data packet of a few
hundred megabytes, so something like this could also be done in iOS in the near
future.
There is presently no proof to support this theory, however
the implementation of this technology might improve the responsiveness of Siri
and battery power, if we consider how the speech recognition process online is
expensive in terms of energy.
