Re: Series silences!
I find it useful to always start by saying Hello siri. That seems to wake her up. Or, are you there, siri? After that, the program seems to respond much more promptly.

Re: Series silences!
Yes I sometimes do that also when I want to ask questions will get serious attention and ask you to send something! However, I am talking about dictating when you have an email message in front of you. It does not work then! It simply puts what you say to Siri in the text!

Re: Series silences!
Tried this. Seems to work. But be prepared to double tap to get Siri to listen to you again.
