  You simply need to enable location services for Siri and Dictation under 
settings, privacy, location services.
  There is no separate setting for precise location, but if Siri is allowed to 
use your location, you can get precise loacation information.

Re: siri dictation ulternitive?

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I wouldn't know about English but dictating in Croatian could be
better. I'll try some tips suggested bellow but, from my experience
Google Voice Input works far better for my language than Siri
Dictation.
Besides, it's not just the matter of understanding dictated speech,
it is also about he size and complexity of used dictionary. If the
dictation doesn't have some words and phrases in there it can't type
it down and my opinion is Google did a better job with it.
On the other hand when I dictate in my iPhone I can dictate
punctuation and it is displayed as punctuation. When using Google
Voice this is still not supported for my mothertongue so...
It is best to try it out for yourself.


  S poštovanjem
Gordan Radić

RE: siri dictation ulternitive?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I assume you are talking about dictating in English? I am just curious as to 
whether you are a native English speaker and if so, are you from the US or from 
England or another country? If from the States, doo you have a strong dialect? 
I personally find dictation for the most part works quite well, but I did 
notice that results are almost always slightly worse if you use a Bluetooth 
headset. It works best with just the phone or with the Earpods.

Sieghard

Re: siri dictation ulternitive?

[englishrider91]

Before you go looking for alternatives, I'd like to point out something that 
you might not know about. I don't know how far this goes back in the 
generations of iPhones, but since I got my new 6S, i've noticed that I get much 
better dictation results when I talk near the earpiece part of the iPhone, 
rather than the bottom, near the speaker, like I used to do with my old iPhone 
4S. Since then, my dictation has improved beyond all recognition. I remember 
hearing somewhere that the microphone placement had changed. I think it was in 
a podcast by a guy named Neil, who was testing all the different iPhone Mike's 
with and without the processing that Apple puts on them. Anyway, just thought 
I'd let you know about my discovery.


Thanks,
Ari

RE: Siri Dictation: Removing the Final Space

Hi.  I've seen this as well but unfortunately, I don't know of any way to
fix this.  Really, I think it's a bug more than anything and something we

Subject: Siri Dictation: Removing the Final Space

 

Hi, everyone. I use Siri to dictate my text messages and most other
corespondences I need to make using my iPhone. I know, I should really get a
bluetooth keyboard to make this more realistic in crowded places and the
like.

 

Anyway, that's not my question. After dictation, Siri always inserts a
space. This wouldn't be a problem if the space didn't cut Voiceover off as
it is trying to read the message back to me. Is there any way to disable
this feature? It's very tedious, having to find a text field every time I
make a dictation because the space cuts off all read back.

 

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Carla, when you are done dictating, do a 2 finger double tap to end dictation.  
The text you dictated should be inserted into the edit area.  When Siri isn't 
working properly, the text won't be inserted, so you'll know if it's worked.  
VoiceOver will say thinking, and then say inserted and will read the text you 
dictated. HTH.
