My one comment, is that verbal input needs to be quite short, Siri has a short attention span. The input cursor stays at the end of what you last typed, so you can always hit "Dictate" again, and say some more. Keep it short, and tell it "comma" or "dot" as you go. Don't be too slow saying it or it gets added as another word. Good dictation isn't as easy as it sounds, if you want somebody to read it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Otten" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 2:32 AM Subject: Dictation, Facebook, and unwanted chatter from voiceover while dictating
A couple of days ago, when I upgraded my for S, I noted that I had a problem when trying to dictate a comment on Facebook, which was that voiceover started talking while I was still dictating. That resulted in trouble concentrating for me and a garbled mess for my comment. I rebooted the phone and then dictated an email message, which went fine. So I thought the problem was solved, or was perhaps something to do with my for S being slow. I have been using this 5S to dictate several email messages. I just tried doing a Facebook comment, and, lo and behold, I got the unwanted intrusion a voiceover dictating before I was through. Has anyone else noticed this problem when dictating into something other than a mail message, where you hear back what you were saying before you have double tapped to indicate you're done? Is this a bug or is it just me? I was using the Siri female voice when this latest intrusion happened. Now I'm using Alex. I suppose I should try and email using the Siri female voice to make sure that it isn't Alex that is doing a good job, and the bug that is appearing elsewhere.
