Re: Seri and dictation.
I would also add that, in my experience at least, Siri gets more and more accurate as you use it, so don't give up if things don't work well right away. Of course, there are always those server and internet issues. There was a 2-day period of time recently where I could not use Siri at all despite rebooting the phone, etc. and it just miraculously came back at some point, but in general, Siri and I have worked well together.

Re: Seri and dictation.
Yes, I'm wondering too. Can anyone else shout up and say they actually do have a problem with Siri dictation and they also have installed Fleksy recently?

RE: Seri and dictation.
I have had almost no luck with Siri for several weeks. I've done all the turning it off, rebooting the phone, turning it back on, etc. Siri, is a beta, and in my experience a very poor beta.

RE: Seri and dictation.
Hi! I am dictating this message. And I find that I am getting better and better at doing so. Like most of you I do downloaded Fleksy and installed it. However having done that I find that voice dictation is vetter any day! I really love it. I've had no problems whatsoever. If you notice that one or two mistakes in my email. I have purposely not corrected it to demonstrate that they're only a few Eddas in such a long email! Please don't give up on voice dictation! It's excellent. It's made me lazy though! :-) :-) Best wishes and many blessings! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Seri and dictation.
Hello Richard and Carol, I always noticed that SIRI has received greatly varying feedback, for some people like you and Carol it seems to not work very good at all and for others including myself it works very well almost all of the time. I say almost all of the time because I also do sometimes experience problems like I tell it to call a certain number where I actually say the digits and it comes back saying Calling Oud where Cliff Oud is a person in my contact list and for some reason when this does happen it always gets stuck on him. Other times I cancel it in such a case and then when I press and hold the home button again I don't hear the tone that it is ready to listen. Usually I just wait for a bit and it works again, but using Dictation especially when I use the Dictate button on the virtual keyboard does seem to work for me at least 9 out of 10 times. What I don't know is how often you guys are trying to use it, I sometimes use it several times a day and then again I may not use the Dictate feature for 3 days at all. I somehow think that if it doesn't work for somebody this may have to do more with where you are and your ISP because I have often tried SIRI when I read posts from several people that it wasn't working and it worked fine for me. Anyhow, come iOS 6 I do look forward to having more SIRI features available to me, I am in Canada so at this point local search for example does not yet work, but I also hope that the service overall will become more stabil as it officially goes from Beta to a full service.

Re: Seri and dictation.
Well, fortunately, I haven't pinned it down to Fleksy either but am still unhappy with what I'm getting.

Re: Seri and dictation.
I am one that has not yet installed fleksy and what I use most from Siri is the dictate feature where I use the dictate button on the software keyboard. My experience lately has not been any real issue with accuracy, but quite a frequent issue with getting it to come back with the results from what was dictated. It will take the dictation in those cases, but never respond with the result. It's hard to say if the accuracy issue is an extension of the issue of no response and they are quite related or not. Yeah, yeah they have been using the beta thing as an excuse to have no standards to measure against for nearly a year now and the reliability is the same or worse than it was months ago. Not much of a quality job on that in my opinion.

RE: Seri and dictation.
As a former transcriptionist, my feeling is that the jury is still out on voice recognition dictation. On many lists, I have seen examples of Siri's work. Sometimes, it is all right, but it never corrects things which are repeted such as generating Juaneta for Juanita or just throwing odd words into the mix. This is why there are still a few transcriptionist editing this type of dictation, a chore I didn't want in any way, shape or form. Hopefully, this technology, be it Siri, or something else will get better, but it must be capable of understanding so many languages and accents that this is going to be a tall order. I just received an email from a friend which she had dictated, and she was having a devil of a time with it. It did, however, catch a few cuss words precisely!
