My word! How were you able to persuade Siri to allow you to dictate a message
of that length, and
so fluently too!

Subject: Re: Editting text messages sent via Siri: HELP pleaset
Jewel, the done button that you're hearing is what you get after your message
has been sent. I think
you're hearing it over and over and over again because either voiceover is
quirky on your phone and
or your swiping and that's what you're hearing because they're only like two
things on the page
after you sent your message. One I think is home which is at the top and then
under that his help. I
don't know what else appears on that page once you sent your message but don't
worry about it maybe
you're not hearing the swoosh sound or whatever sound you have set indicate the
message is sent. I
meant to write and yes I am dictating this and I have not mastered editing
either, that at the top
is the done button not the home button and under that I believe is a help
button. That is after you
have dictated a text message using Siri.
