Re: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
That's odd since I had sighted help confirm that the dictation button was not appearing on the screen. Furthermore, when I attempt to double tap while in an edit field I never hear the tone indicating to begin dictating. Rather what usually happens is music will start playing. I'm running ios7 on a 4s. This is a pretty bug bug for me since I use dictation quite a lot when texting or writing short emails. Any clue what I may be doing wrong?

RE: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
Hi! Kimba What you need to do is to go to the edit field that you want to dictate in and double tap on it to activate the edit field. Once the edit field is activated do a two finger double tap in the edit field and wait until you hear a tone and start dictating your message and once finished do another two finger double tap. Your message will be put into the edit field. I hope this helps.

Hi Kimber, The Dictate button is still there on my 4S where is always has been, just to the left of the spacebar when the virtual keyboard is visible. If you touch an edit field and hear Voiceover saying, for example, Search field, is editing, character mode, do a 2-finger double tap at this point and you should hear the tone to indicate that Dictation is listening.

Re: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
I have too noticed this, like for example if I am leaving a voicemail, sometimes the 2 finger doubletap would take so long to respond that sometimes the voicemail wouldn't go through because it would take me to the options screen and sometimes people wouldn't get my voicemails, now it hangs up right away and answers right away too, I like that. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 11:09 AM Subject: RE: Dictating without the dictation button -- how to do it?
