Edit: This is really strange, in a funny kind of way. I kept saying "Omnifocus" and Siri kept transcribing it as "Omni focus" and saying there was no such list. The space between words was throwing it off.
You can also work around this by creating an address book entry for "OmniFocus" in your contacts, being sure that OmniFocus is in the first or last name field (not the "Company" field). Siri will try to adjust spellings to what it finds in your address book, so by putting "OmniFocus" in there, Siri ends up getting it right most of the time.

And you can also set a phonetic spelling in the address book to further ensure Siri gets it right. I set my phonetic spelling to "omneefocus" and it gets it right every time.

See this link for instructions on setting phonetic spellings: http://www.tipb.com/2011/10/20/daily...g-contact-ios/
