Thank you all for your suggestions. Can the dictation be used in edit field of any app? Ya.

Yes. It works in any and all edit fields excluding password fields.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?
1. I can't speak for Siri myself, but here in the UK I know it can't help you locate businesses for example restaurants. 2. I believe the text dictation feature works for all except password text fields for obvious reasons. 3. The camera on the 4s is 8 megapixel compared to the 3gs which is only 3. So performance will no doubt be a huge improvement. There is also a front facing camera which is useful for features like Facetime. 4. I can't comment on VoiceOver and Siri interacting together sorry. 5. Because of the dual core A5 processor in the 4s, I have no doubts that VoiceOver will be very responsive on the 4s compared to the 3gs. 6. Can't comment on the battery sorry. I have heard in the past that there were battery issues on some iPhone 4s. Hope any or all of this helps. Christopher Hallsworth On 08/05/2012 20:16, Venkatesh Potluri wrote: Hi listers.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?
Hi, I won't be able to answer all your questions as I don't use the iPhone 4S, but I can answer your first question. I was recently trying out Siri on a cousin's iPhone. And, frankly, I was a little disappointed. This was because of 2 main reasons: First, Siri has a hard time understanding the Indian accent. They say that the accuracy of the results depends on the clarity of your voice and not your accent, but I personally found it really hard to communicate with Siri. And a few of my friends who've tried it have also had similar experiences. And, secondly, it doesn't contain any information about India. I searched for restaurants, multiplexes, malls, etc, but it didn't have any information regarding any of them. However,you can get better results if you try asking it to search the web for places in India. So, those are my views. I don't want to discourage you in any way, but, like you correctly said, the 4S is pretty expensive here, so I just thought I should let you know about my experience. And, lastly, I would be extremely grateful if you would be kind enough to reply to my mail which I had sent to you a few days ago.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?
Hi, honestly, at this point I would just hold off. The 4S has already been out for 7 months. In 5 months or less there will more than likely be a new iPhone for you to pick up instead. And if you don't want to do that, you can get a 4S at a cheaper price once the new iPhone is released.

Re: iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?
Hi Venkatesh I have not noticed a significant battery problem from my iPhone 4 and when i fot 4S. You might want to get a portable battery charger you can carry around. That's at I did, but I seldom have to use it from within my purse. I think the dictation feature is pretty good, but then I am doing it with a southern U.S. accent. Having said that, I have to be careful to say my words clearly so Siri will understand me.
