You're right. I believe this is a new problem introduced in, perhaps, IOS 10. I don't ever recall this happening before the past several months.
The solution that works for me is to move my finger to the dictation button and hold it there and wait until VO speaks the prompt" double tap to start dictation ." Then after this has finished, double tap and dictate. For me double tapping with two fingers seems a less reliable dictation start. Hope this helps. ----Original Message----- From: jedbar...@gmail.com [mailto:jedbar...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Jed Barton Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 10:51 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: a dication problem Hey guys, OK, i seem to be having this problem a lot lately and it's super annoying to say the least. I often try and dictate my text messages and all that. However this seems to be happening a lot more. Ya know how when you hit the dictate button, it says double tap to start dictation. So what's happening a lot on my text messages it's picking up the voiceover voice, and it keeps picking up i just talked to tation Super annoying! Anyone else had this problem? I just veel like i'm spending time editing text messages to get that out of there a lot. Any ideas? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
