Ok, when Siri is unresponsive, I don’t believe it is due to a pause, just something flukey in the performance of the device. Didn’t someone write the other day that nothing is perfect?

If you pause while not holding the Home Button, Siri will assume you're done and will start trying to act on whatever you said. If you have the Home Button down, though, you can stop speaking for as long as you like, then speak more, and Siri will keep listening the whole time. I'm not following what you mean by the Phone App. Whether that app is open or not, a keypad will always appear during a call unless you do something to dismiss it (lock the device or hit the Home Button, for instance). I also notice no lag when using VoiceOver during a call, and I'm on an iPhone 5. I don't remember what device you have, but perhaps it is an older one?

When on a call that I’ve asked Siri to dial, and it rings, that is when there is a notable lag in when vo reads the numbers on the keypad. I’m not always in phone when I call someone back, and often I simply ask Siri to dial for me. Is it then that I need to quickly get to the “in call” item so I can hit the menu item that I want? Using the app switcher as one person suggested is a bit slow and hangs things up. Did you really mean to say that there is a way to tap on the status bar at the top of a home screen to get to in calling? If so, I did not know that. And I am really confused by your description below of what to do to pause Siri. You say to hold the button down the whole time you are speaking to pause Siri. What is the point of speaking if you are wanting to pause? See below. Alex wrote: * To be able to pause, just hold the Home Button down the entire time you're speaking. If you are holding it once Siri activates, it becomes sort of a push to talk button. Pause as long as you like, and Siri will wait until that button is released. Note that the second item can be a source of frustration.. If you're holding the button down too long, when you release it, Siri could think you just issued a very short command. This is why Siri sometimes seems to stop listening almost immediately. It's a matter of practice to get the timing down right, but again, if long pauses are your problem, yo might find this feature quite helpful. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
