Hey again Chris.
If you have any influence, there is another thing that I have been meaning to
write about that I wish, pretty please, Apple could fix in 6.0 for iPhone. I
also have a blind friend that has screaming about this.
Whenever you're on a call or your phone is ringing, it's very difficult to
hear, especially when near heavy traffic, VoiceOver when calls are activated or
one is coming in, unless you use the earphone. I didn't have this problem on my
iPhone 4, but I do have it on the 4S. I sure hope this isn't a hardware thing
because otherwise, I may have to find out if the iPhone 5 (when it comes out)
has the same problem.

Gigi,
I can't really say much about if this happens now, seeing I'm a dev on I O
S 6, so thus am on N D A, but I can! legally say this: in I O S 5, which is
the most current firmware readily available for the public, which I'm quite
sure is what you have, I had this problem a fair amount, yes.
Remember that even though dictation is not a part of Seri persey, it is
actually ran through the same proxy server that Seri uses. With this said,
basically in a more basic meaning... if the server is busy that Seri uses,
which often times, it is, remember, Seri is? still in public beta... then
dictation also isn't gonna work.
Here's a little trick, if you don't wanna restart your IPhone that you can
try that sometimes helps. This isn't exactly documented, and it's nothing I
shouldn't be telling you. Why this works, I'm unfortunately not allowed to
disclose but i can! at least tell you sometimes and actually, often times, it
does.
When this happens, go to settings, then go to general, and finally, Seri.
You'll notice that you have 3 options. always, which is probably where
it's now at, handset only, or off. If you switch it to handset only for about
5 seconds, then switch it back to always, then try using Seri, or dictation,
either or, it should start to work again.
Again, I'm not authorized to explain to you why this works, and I know it's
kind a cock eyed. Trust me though, if you knew the reason, you'd understand.
Trust me though, for now, just know, stupid as I know this sounds, and as
irrelivant as I'm sure it's gotta sound, believe me: it does! usually work.
Chris.

Hi guys again
I wonder if anyone else is having this trouble, and if it's a voiceover
thing or a dictation thing. Sometimes on my iPhone dictation option just
doesn't work at all. I press the dictation key and with no warning, nothing
happens. It just says "thinking", and nothing appears on the display. Every
time this happens, I have to restart the iPhone. Restarting seems to solve the
problem, until the next time it decides to go on strike.
Regards
Gigi
