There are lots of dictation tips and tricks, but some of them never work for me. For example, if I dicate to SIRI something like this:
Buy 6 bananas SIRI always or usually writes the number six as a word and not the number 6. I read you should say the word "numeral" in front of a number if you want this number to be written as a number. I tried this and got "Buy numeral six bananas". And I can't believe you still can't say "spell this" or another trigger word and then get SIRI to spell out a word which I know for sure it will get wrong otherwise. I mean, it's been 8 years since SIRI and dictation were introduced, come on Apple. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Thursday, August 1, 2019 12:23 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Dick Tatian problem www.applevis.com has a good podcast concerning dictation tips and tricks.

I’m using an iPhone 6. When I try to give out any email address it just is not coming out the way it supposed to you’ll get a letter off when I try and give it even after I tried spelling my email address and I’m wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
