I have an iPhone 5 an a new Plantronics Voyager Edge and the dictation stinks. Siri ALWAYS gets it wrong, in fact, never gets it right. I have started reaching up and switching off the headset when dictating and turning it back on when I am finished.

Subject: Bluetooth earpiece and dictation or using Siri

I have an iPhone 5 S with a Plantronics voyager headset. I guess I should call it an earpiece, since it's just one, not to ear phones. I have had this for a while, so I know it is not the latest and greatest. I mostly have use this quite successfully when out in coffee shops or restaurants or other public places, where I want to read email or articles, or surf the web or whatever. However, lately, I have actually tried using it for dictation, say, to answer mail, or to use Siri. And the results have been hideous. It just never works. I have tried the home button to activate Siri. I have tried double tapping the dictation button to activate dictation. I think once, I even tried hitting a button on the earpiece to see if that would work. What usually happens is I get the two beeps followed almost immediately by the one beep indicating that dictation or Siri is closed. Sometimes I get a crash. Sometimes the headset connects and disconnects. And, the audio starts sounding quite strange, rather like an old telephone connection. It just doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this something that should be fixed if I got a new earpiece and my new phone which should be here in a couple of weeks?
