Last night I upgraded my iPhone 5 from 7.whatever to 8.4.1 since I realized it was my last chance to do so without having to go to 9. Then I downloaded the Plantronics Hub app and now the Voyager Edge does dictation and Siri fine again. Sherrie

I have the Bose ear piece, and the Bose bluetooth headphones, and use them with Siri and dictation with good success. Let me say this. If there is a good bit of background noise, it might take a little longer. It certainly isn't as fast as using the apple ear phones or something else with a chord, but, I am quite satisfied with my results from both of these bose products. I hope this helps.

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? > Mary > > Sent from my iPhone > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your VIPhone list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at [email protected] > > The archives for this list can be searched at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
