Generally speaking, when you use voice dictation, you need to speak the 
names of punctuation marks, usually in a slightly different tone of 
voice and with minor pauses around:

Hi, comma, how are you, question mark. I'm fine, period.

Otherwise, you get one solid blob of text. You also need to be careful 
that the device doesn't also pick up other voices, including the smart 
phone's. I read lots of messages that are produced by voice input, and 
in addition to lacking punctuation, they also have random chunks of text 
that are obviously notifications from the device or snippets from other 
speech.

Voice recognition isn't perfect, so people who use it need to be willing 
to do some proofreading.
