I'm behind on today's email so I expect this has already been answered. I just
asked Siri to reply to my most recent text message. She did come back with "Who

It's a great group to ask questions about the service. But the app is awesome

Hi Sherry:
I think if you ask Siri to find your most recent text, she will find it,
read it to you and then ask you if you want to reply. So just ask her to
find your most recent text instead of asking her to respond to it.
Hope this is clear.

Dear all
I have a couple of questions for you about voice stream writer.
If at all you can, how would you replace a word with its meaning or synonym
without typing it. I know how to check the meaning of a word in the app but it
would be nice if you could replace it with one of the synonyms.
That's exactly what I do.
