Re: Siri Launching Issues

2014-10-26 Thread Christina C.
I am definitely having issues with dictation. I can start dictation, dictate 
and then end dictation. Then it is followed by all kinds of unintelligible 
voiceover stuttering and a sound simillar to the sound when my iPhone switches 
from portrait to landscape and vice versa over and over again for several 
seconds. This usually lasts around ten seconds and then finally I hear 
voiceover speak my dictation and then everything seems normal after that and my 
dictation is indeed in the text field. It's very weird.

Re: Siri Launching Issues

2014-10-25 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey guys,

Thanks for the suggestions. unfortunately I had tried the turning volume up 
previously and yes dictation is already enabled. I have contacted Apple 
Accessibility, but right now they are not my favorite people in the world as i 
called them last weekend about a different issue of my iPhone being unable to 
sync. After being on the phone with them for well over an hour the guy told me 
he would call me back later that day. good thing I didn't wait on hearing back 
from Apple Accessibility because I would still be waiting. I ended up resetting 
my iPhones settings and sure enough that fixed the sync issue. I know Apple 
Accessibility is not going to have an answer to everything but if you tell me 
you are going to cal lmd back, call me back, or at least send me an email 
acknowledgment that you are still working on the issue. Oh well.

Hi all. Just for your information, I'm not at all sure that the SIRI issues
are related to IOS 8 or 8.1.  I'm  using an IPhone 4s running 7.1.2 and
having issues with SIRI cutting off halfway through a request or not
responding at all.  I also have a friend who has an IPhone 5 running 7.1.2
with the same sort of SIRI glitches. I wonder if it's a server problem as
opposed to an IOS issue. Just a thought.

I am on an iPhone 5S and I am having Siri launching issues as well but they
are different than yours. In short, when I go to launch Siri via the home
button I get the Familiar Siri is listening sound followed by an abrupt
bong, then nothing...Siri is not listening or working. The only fix I have
been able to reproduce is to go back to my home screen. So far, it seems to
happen if I try to initiate Siri within any app like Safari or messages. It
seems as though Siri will only work if I am at my home screen. :(

I also was having problems with dictation. I'm not sure yet if the problem
is fixed yet because I haven't played with it much yet. I could not get a
two-finger double tap to initiate dictation. Then just yesterday, I tried a
single finger double tap on the actual dictation button. Then a message
popped up asking me if I wanted to enable dictation and I chose to do so. It
seems to be working now. I've only used it once since then. Go into settings
and make sure dictation is enabled because now, we have the option to enable
Siri and dictation separately .

RE: Siri Launching Issues

2014-10-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Brian and Isaac,

Could it be that SIRI volume is turned down all the way so that SIRI
launches but you don't hear the tones? I would try and ask SIRI something
like What is the time and then when you think SIRI is giving the answer
press the volume up button repeatedly.


Regards,
Sieghard

noticing a lot of times every day when I press the home button to launch
Siri nothing happens. I can touch the screen and Siri is running but no
matter how many times I tap the listen now button on the screen nothing.
Additionally I am having issues often enough when I do a two finger double
tap in a text field to begin dictating something. I can also hit the dictate
now button and nothing either. I am using an iPhone 5s and this would happen
periodically in IOS 7 but not as bad as this. The only thing that gets Siri
working again is a reset of the phone and it happens at least 65% of the
time when I try to use Siri or dictate. Any thoughts?

Re: Siri Launching Issues

2014-10-24 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey,

Sounds like it is not device specific. Sorry to hear others are having this 
issue, and yes, I had enabled dictate in the settings, but the issues are still 
constant and enough where it is quite frustrating. I tried running Siri with VO 
off when this happened and Siri still would not work so it might not be a VO 
specific issue which would be good if it was a mainstream issue.

Re: Siri Launching Issues

2014-10-24 Thread Christina C.
I am on an iPhone 5S and I am having Siri launching issues as well but they are 
different than yours. In short, when I go to launch Siri via the home button I 
get the Familiar Siri is listening sound followed by an abrupt bong, then 
nothing...Siri is not listening or working. The only fix I have been able to 
reproduce is to go back to my home screen. So far, it seems to happen if I try 
to initiate Siri within any app like Safari or messages. It seems as though 
Siri will only work if I am at my home screen. :(

I also was having problems with dictation. I'm not sure yet if the problem is 
fixed yet because I haven't played with it much yet. I could not get a 
two-finger double tap to initiate dictation. Then just yesterday, I tried a 
single finger double tap on the actual dictation button. Then a message popped 
up asking me if I wanted to enable dictation and I chose to do so. It seems to 
be working now. I've only used it once since then. Go into settings and make 
sure dictation is enabled because now, we have the option to enable Siri and 
dictation separately .
