Hi, this only applies to the virtual on screen keyboard. There is no 
need to dictate while using a physical keyboard, so there is no dictate 
button. At least, I think that's what you are asking.

Hi, if Voice Over is running you will get the behavior you mentioned. If
you want Siri to behave the way it does everywhere else, in the larger
sighted world, then you have to turn off VoiceOver. In fact, if I'm
going to be interacting with Siri for any length of time which involves
more than 2 questions or things to do, I turn off VoiceOver. I don't
need her repeating what I asked, and then doing it. Plus I like the
responses sounding and feeling more like they way there were designed to
be, interactive. Personally I don't care for the way Siri works when
using it with VoiceOver, but that's just my opinion. I do however, love
the dictate button on all keyboards, and that's not the same thing.

No, just the onscreen keyboard. On my mac, dictation activates when I hold the 
fn key for more than two seconds. I wonder if there is an iOS equivalent. I 
don't use a QWERTY keyboard with my iPhone.

A split tap is just an alternative to a double tap. When you find a 
button with one finger, like the dictate button, just tap the screen 
somewhere else with another finger while leaving your first finger on 
the screen. You could do this with a finger from your other hand or 
another finger from the same hand or just use the double tap with the 
same finger anywhere on the screen if you don't like the split tap.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?

2013-04-01 Thread Raul A. Gallegos

Hi there. A split Is nothing more than finding the place you want with one 
finger and then tapping one time with another finger. This is sort of like when 
you want to keep your place without losing it on the screen. You can do this 
with one or two hands. However once you find a button, instead of doing a split 
tap you can do a double tap with one finger. The 3GS was the first phone that I 
had with the iPhone and I have nothing but positive experiences with it. I went 
into using the iPhone kicking and screaming, but then realized after about a 
week or two that it was really not all bad. If you do not know what some of 
these gestures are called or what they do, I highly recommend you get an app 
called VoiceOver Tutorial. It is by looktel, the people who make the money 
reader app. It is very easy to use and walks you through how to do some of the 
basic gestures. I have even provided the link to the app below. I hope this 
will help you.

Hi there. All joking aside, it seems like you have such a low expectation of 
how to use the iPhone,
or that using the iPhone is very difficult. If you can double tap one button 
with one finger, and
you can do a two finger double tap, then you can use dictation. If this is an 
acrobatic type of
gesture then that is up to you to decide. Please know that I mean no offense. I 
do not know if you
have any sort of dexterity problems which would make certain gestures very 
difficult to perform.
However most things with the iPhone are very easy to do. I also realize of 
course that what I might
term as an easy gesture might be difficult for someone else. For example, I 
find it kind of
difficult to perform a four finger tap on the upper part of the screen or a 
four finger tap on the
lower part of the screen to move to the first or last element respectively. I 
forget what this
gesture was to do this type of command in the past, but I do remember it being 
a lot easier for me.
There are some people who have no problems doing this for finger gesture 
though, so that is why I
say that some gestures might be easy for some and not for others.

Take care.

Hi, if Voice Over is running you will get the behavior you mentioned. If
you want Siri to behave the way it does everywhere else, in the larger
sighted world, then you have to turn off VoiceOver. In fact, if I'm
going to be interacting with Siri for any length of time which involves
more than 2 questions or things to do, I turn off VoiceOver. I don't
need her repeating what I asked, and then doing it. Plus I like the
responses sounding and feeling more like they way there were designed to
be, interactive. Personally I don't care for the way Siri works when
using it with VoiceOver, but that's just my opinion. I do however, love
the dictate button on all keyboards, and that's not the same thing.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?

2013-04-01 Thread Christopher Chaltain

I'm not sure what you're talking about. When you're in an edit field, 
the virtual keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen. Right above 
the home key is the space button and just to the left of that is the 
dictate button. Just double tap anywhere on the screen once you find the 
dictate button. There's no acrobatics involved at all.

Hi there. All joking aside, it seems like you have such a low expectation of 
how to use the iPhone,
or that using the iPhone is very difficult. If you can double tap one button 
with one finger, and
you can do a two finger double tap, then you can use dictation. If this is an 
acrobatic type of
gesture then that is up to you to decide. Please know that I mean no offense. I 
do not know if you
have any sort of dexterity problems which would make certain gestures very 
difficult to perform.
However most things with the iPhone are very easy to do. I also realize of 
course that what I might
term as an easy gesture might be difficult for someone else. For example, I 
find it kind of
difficult to perform a four finger tap on the upper part of the screen or a 
four finger tap on the
lower part of the screen to move to the first or last element respectively. I 
forget what this
gesture was to do this type of command in the past, but I do remember it being 
a lot easier for me.
There are some people who have no problems doing this for finger gesture 
though, so that is why I
say that some gestures might be easy for some and not for others.

Take care.

Hi, if Voice Over is running you will get the behavior you mentioned. If 
you want Siri to behave the way it does everywhere else, in the larger 
sighted world, then you have to turn off VoiceOver. In fact, if I'm 
going to be interacting with Siri for any length of time which involves 
more than 2 questions or things to do, I turn off VoiceOver. I don't 
need her repeating what I asked, and then doing it. Plus I like the 
responses sounding and feeling more like they way there were designed to 
be, interactive. Personally I don't care for the way Siri works when 
using it with VoiceOver, but that's just my opinion. I do however, love 
the dictate button on all keyboards, and that's not the same thing.

If you turn off voice over it will do the trick.
Just lift the phone to your head and it should make the sound to access siri

Siri as seen on TV?
