Re: Siri as seen on TV?
Hi, if Voice Over is running you will get the behavior you mentioned. If you want Siri to behave the way it does everywhere else, in the larger sighted world, then you have to turn off VoiceOver. In fact, if I'm going to be interacting with Siri for any length of time which involves more than 2 questions or things to do, I turn off VoiceOver. I don't need her repeating what I asked, and then doing it. Plus I like the responses sounding and feeling more like they way there were designed to be, interactive. Personally I don't care for the way Siri works when using it with VoiceOver, but that's just my opinion. I do however, love the dictate button on all keyboards, and that's not the same thing. -- Raul A. Gallegos Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?
Hi there. All joking aside, it seems like you have such a low expectation of how to use the iPhone, or that using the iPhone is very difficult. If you can double tap one button with one finger, and you can do a two finger double tap, then you can use dictation. If this is an acrobatic type of gesture then that is up to you to decide. Please know that I mean no offense. I do not know if you have any sort of dexterity problems which would make certain gestures very difficult to perform. However most things with the iPhone are very easy to do. I also realize of course that what I might term as an easy gesture might be difficult for someone else. For example, I find it kind of difficult to perform a four finger tap on the upper part of the screen or a four finger tap on the lower part of the screen to move to the first or last element respectively. I forget what this gesture was to do this type of command in the past, but I do remember it being a lot easier for me. There are some people who have no problems doing this for finger gesture though, so that is why I say that some gestures might be easy for some and not for others. Take care.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?
I'm not sure what you're talking about. When you're in an edit field, the virtual keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen. Right above the home key is the space button and just to the left of that is the dictate button. Just double tap anywhere on the screen once you find the dictate button. There's no acrobatics involved at all. On 04/01/2013 11:54 AM, Ray T. Mahorney wrote: and that one requires one of those acrobatic gestures? Ray T.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?
A split tap is just an alternative to a double tap. When you find a button with one finger, like the dictate button, just tap the screen somewhere else with another finger while leaving your first finger on the screen. You could do this with a finger from your other hand or another finger from the same hand or just use the double tap with the same finger anywhere on the screen if you don't like the split tap.

Re: Siri as seen on TV?
Hi there. A split Is nothing more than finding the place you want with one finger and then tapping one time with another finger. This is sort of like when you want to keep your place without losing it on the screen. You can do this with one or two hands. However once you find a button, instead of doing a split tap you can do a double tap with one finger. The 3GS was the first phone that I had with the iPhone and I have nothing but positive experiences with it. I went into using the iPhone kicking and screaming, but then realized after about a week or two that it was really not all bad. If you do not know what some of these gestures are called or what they do, I highly recommend you get an app called VoiceOver Tutorial. It is by looktel, the people who make the money reader app. It is very easy to use and walks you through how to do some of the basic gestures. I have even provided the link to the app below. I hope this will help you. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-voiceover-tutorial/id598788231?mt=8 On Apr 1, 2013, at 12:03 PM, Ray T.

Hi, this only applies to the virtual on screen keyboard. There is no need to dictate while using a physical keyboard, so there is no dictate button.

Siri as seen on TV?
When I woke up and turned over in bed and asked Siri what the weather was like, she said, You said, What's the weather like? and then she told me, which was good because it was raining and my chicken was ill. But, is there a way that I can just have her answer me, without telling me what I said? LIke the commercials on TV, where she just comes back with the snappy response. It's sort of anticlimactic if she repeats back to me what I said. Way to cut out this part?

RE: Siri as seen on TV?
If you turn off voice over it will do the trick. Just lift the phone to your head and it should make the sound to access siri -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark BurningHawk Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2013 11:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Siri as seen on TV?
