I think the Apple rep told you to get Vlingo. I've never tried this on 
iPhone. On Android, it works pretty well. You say things like, "Send 
Wendy a text: let's do dinner," and the phone opens a text message, puts 
Wendy's cell number in the To field, and types "Let's do dinner" in the 
body. I can edit the message manually, add to it, or send it.

Wordpress is very accessible. It takes getting used to because some 
things aren't intuitive, but once you get the hang of it, it's fine. Off 
hand, I only remember needing sighted assistance with widgets. Widgets 
are things like the list of links, pages for static content, and a few 
other bits and pieces. I found the list of widgets, but I couldn't click 
on them or drag and drop them with the screen reader. Once a widget is 
activated, then I am able to use it on my own. for example, someone else 
activated Pages for me; after that, I could add, edit, remove pages on 
my own. I find Wordpress to be more accessible than Blogger.
