Hello Peter, and Judy,

That 'Dictate' button works great on filling in 
long company names when creating a contact, too. I 
despise text-typing. (smile)

I've used SIRI a few times to send texts. If 
you've already got someone in your contact list, 
You can just tell SIRI to "Send text to 
so-and-so." I notice it sometimes doesn't catch 
all of what I ask, so I've gotten into the habit 
of saying it's 'name' first, such as, "SIRI, send 
a text to so-and-so." It works much cleaner, seems 
to me. Then, it asks me what I want to say in the 
text. So I push the botton again, it beeps, and I 
speak my message, along with the punctuation.


Strive On!
Everett

Best to bypass Siri altogether. When you enter 
your messages app, once you've double tapped to 
enter the "to" or "text" field, just to the left 
of the spacebar is a "dictate" button: single tap 
to begin and double tap to end. Then after Siri 
says "thinking" your message will appear for you 
to proofread. Then just hit the send button.
The recognition is quite good.
Judy
