Ok, I have yet to use Siri

[nadinbrzezinski]

And it is not connected all the time, only wifi version for my IPad. The sending more data to apple gives me pause, but I wonder if Siri can be used for dictation

1. ask siri what she thinks of android. It is quite fun.

she eventually said,"I think, therefore I am. But lets not put decartes before the horse."

OK, I am easily amused.

2. My poor android might feel insulted!!!

Yup, I got a cheap android for fire coverage

3. If you are on iOS 6, you have to enable dictation. If you are on iOS 7, it comes enabled.

Look on the lower left of the onscreen keyboard. If enabled, there is a little microphone key.

To enable it on iOS 6 go to: Settings > General > Keyboard > Dictation

Yes, you have to be connected to Apple's servers to perform dictation. But there was a widely reported story in July that Apple is working on adding offline dictation to iOS 7.

To do dictation, simply touch the microphone key on the onscreen keyboard.

5. If they do, that be great

I got seven already

4. There is a microphone on the keyboard for dictation

You need to speak the punctuation, however.

Seems to me there used to be something specifically for dictation, but now I can't find it. Maybe it disappeared when they introduced Siri.

Okay, it looks like you can ask Siri to dictate a note.

6. Dragon, but it was clunky

Needed constant access to servers, and unlike it's computer cousin, only a minute or so

7. Yeah, I had Dragon, but I agree—clunky.

Tell Seri to dictate a note. It will appear in your note app.

8. Siri is clunky

But at least I don't have to copy and paste.

I have to use dictation from time to time, and it's back!!!
