Neal, I've been following this thread and am curious if you or anyone can identify which iOS version the problem began with? I've seen some general mention of the latest iOS version but not specifically which one seemed to cause the Siri problem. These are the type of issues with upgrades in the personal computer world that make me hesitate before installing upgrades that seem to break something I've always used without giving me any additional functionality. Apparently, this issue continues into the iOS world.

It is different than it was before the recent update. Yes, if you pause too long, she used to cut you off, but if you didn’t pause that long, you could dictate a long message. Not any more without doing what you suggest.

I find that when I hold the home button down for siri, then say something like, " text Neal." wait for her to say, what would you like to say to Neal? Find the edit box, just a little higher than center, and double tap. This will bring you to the message app, then dictate it that way. I fins that siri doesn't rush me, and she does a much better job of understanding what I'm saying. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Beth G Sent: Friday, May 10, 2013 8:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Siri The other problem I have with Siri, is that she will cut me off after three or four words, and then tell me try again. Or she can't send the message. There's been a problem. It's never says what the problem is. This is new with the iOS newest upgrade to iOS six point whatever the new one is. On my iPhone five.

One would not ask a question in long text, so if she thinks I am asking a question when I am actually dictating the body of an email message, she would not like that if she thought I was simply asking a question. I wonder if the programmers blew it, or if this is a planned change, If it is. I know I can go into the message and tap dictate, but is much more time consuming than what I used to do when Siri excepted longer message text.

I speak in sentences. It has worked nicely up to this point. So, there has been a change here.

In order to make this thing work because I send another message. To the original poster Mistleoe I'll go and see if she was speaking in words. We need to go to the store or stuff like that.

I and others have this very problem. I cannot send a message over a couple sentences. I get these silly messages which someone at apple thinks is cute, and it won�t send either the message or the email.

She began rambling about some story regarding her grandmother and her mother and her daughter and how I should ask a shorter question next time. Was pretty hilarious. But annoying.

I wonder if you say period, etc. after each sentence, if this would be better. Perhaps you already do that. I do, and I so far don�t have this problem. Now watch, the next time I use Siri, she will give me some lip for being too long.

I know siri has a limit as to how much can be spoken but something weird is going on example to follow: Siri send text to Jill "What would you like to say to jill?" Me dictating to Siri :"Hey Jill how are you" What are you up to I will call you later to talk about the baseball game and we need to get together for lunch." Siri replies "easy there Marissa can you ask that question again but shorter?" or wow that's a lot of words or some quote about Thomas Jefferson. This usually happens when dictating texts that are lengthy, I called Apple and they said nothing is wrong with my phone that its just siri being siri I guess they have done "internal updates to her" on their end. Anyone think I should go to apple and have them look at the phone anyway? this just started happening just recently?
