Hello everyone, when it comes to the iPhone, I am all thumbs, and, all fingers. To really get things right I need a good Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard. The only kind of screen input I can do is the keypad on the phone in dialing numbers. When it comes to dictation it it gets it all wrong when it really matters. Dictation continuously gets it all wrong no matter how hard I’ve tried or how hard I have practice!
