Hi Donald, Yes, you can use any punctuation, new line, new paragraph, capital letters etc. You will have to follow certain rules and if you google something like "advanced dictation with SIRI" you will find lots of links which explain how to do this. You cannot adjust pauses, but if you start dictation from the virtual keyboard or with a 2-finger double tap, for example, when you are in the body field of an email, you can take short breaks as long as there is not much background noise. However, keep in mind that the maxrecording length is 30 seconds and I find it easy to stop dictartion with a 2-finger double tap if |I want to gather my thoughts and then start it again the same way.

Roberts Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2013 4:11 PM To: Viphone Subject: Siri and punctuation I have used Siri to create text messages without problems. I have used the period and the question mark successfully in these text messages. In USA English, does Siri recognize any other punctuation marks? Also, does Siri understand a command such as "new paragraph?" Lastly, when composing an email message using Siri, is there any command to give to Siri so that the duration of pauses during dictation can be lengthened so as to give the person doing the dictation an opportunity to think?
