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.

and that one requires one of those acrobatic gestures?

Immediately to the left of the space bar.

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.

When I woke up and turned over in bed and asked Siri what the weather
was like, she said, "You said, What's the weather like?" and then she
told me, which was good because it was raining and my chicken was ill.
  But, is there a way that I can just have her answer me, without
telling me what I said?  LIke the commercials on TV, where she just
comes back with the snappy response.  It's sort of anticlimactic if she
repeats back to me what I said.  Way to cut out this part?
Thanks. :)
