Also, that’s an awful lot of swiping to the right. The whole point of being able to message from your watch is that it be quick, convenient, and easy. By the time I do all that I might as well just get my phone out and message from my phone.

Re: Anyone else having trouble dictating messages on their watch since WatchOs 8?
Hey, Brad, I have no idea how you figured that out. Once I press the dictate button, VoiceOver completely goes silent. So I had no knowledge that I was expected to swipe all the way to the right and then tap again. I don’t even know what the button is that’s all the way to the right. Maybe it’s not a disaster, but I definitely think Apple could’ve done a better job of making this version of messages on the watch accessible.

Re: Anyone else having trouble dictating messages on their watch since WatchOs 8?
I do not find that the messaging app is a disaster at all. It has just changed. You must first navigate to the message edit field, and do a one finger double tap to activate it. Once activated, then swipe to the dictation button and dictate as in the past. Once finished dictating, you should swipe right until you cannot swipe right anymore, then do a one finger double tap to complete the dictation process. you will then find your dictated message in the message edit field, where you can edit the dictated message or add emojis to it if you wish. once you have finished and are ready to send your message, swipe less to the send button, then double tap to send your message. That's it. HTH. - Brad - On Oct 16, 2021, at 13:07, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi Donna! Oh Yeah this is an annoying issue I have. There seems to be a text field also that you can type in.

Re: Anyone else having trouble dictating messages on their watch since WatchOs 8?
Huh! This is something Apple needs to fix. I don’t really like tapping on things when I don’t know what I’m tapping on. Also, I really don’t want my messages sent until I’m ready to send them. I think I will write to Apple Accessibility about this. But I appreciate the explanation of how you do this, and I’ll give it a try. And, I do agree, it’s nice to be able to add emogis.

Re: Anyone else having trouble dictating messages on their watch since WatchOs 8?
It is true that it is much less convenient to dictate under Watch OS8. What I do, once I am done dictating, is one finger double tap, swipe once to the right and one finger double tap again. Not sure what I’m tapping on, but that stops dictation and then I can swipe left until I get back to the text field so I can review what I have dictated. Sometimes, when I one finger double tap, the message just sends automatically. Not sure why as VoiceOver is pretty quiet at that time. The nice thing about this annoyance is that you can then add emogees to your message, if desired.

Anyone else having trouble dictating messages on their watch since WatchOs 8?
Hi all, Ever since upgrading to WatchOS 8, I am unable to dictate messages. I can get dictation to start, but I can rarely get it to stop, and I can’t get VO to read back to me what I have dictated, so I can make sure it’s right before sending the message. Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I use the watch for messaging a lot, so this is a major inconvenience.
