Why iOS Should Save Your Voice Recordings When You Use Siri

Making notes and reminders with Siri is like pulling teeth.
I don't know about you, but I'm fed up with talking to Siri like a two year old, just trying to get it to create a note or reminder.
Ever since Siri was introduced, I've been making notes and reminders whenever an idea hits me. Unfortunately, Siri has an absolutely horrible track record for (accurately) transcribing whatever I said. I say something like "Remind me to get cat food", and Siri is likely to translate that into something like "Get snack food". Making matters worse, when I get home to read back my reminders, I'll scratch my head and say "Why did I put that on my list?".
If your reminder or note has somebody's name in it, you might as well give up. Siri NEVER gets names right. Just try to tell Siri to add a note or reminder with somebody's name in it. Two words. Train wreck. "Put the invoice in the Penske File" could end up as "poodle thin voice independent ski file". Forget about it.
Rather than trying to read back those cryptic translations, wouldn't it be much easier to hit a button next to the text to hear your original voice recording? That would be 1000 times more useful, and eliminate any doubt about what you said.
