Personally I find it better to go into the messages app, press compose
and send a text that way using the dictate button on the keyboard.
Although sending texts with Siri interface does work. I have always felt
that Siri and Voice Over is clunky at best and so if I will be using
Siri a lot, I usually turn off Voice Over. This can still work out
nicely even if you are a totally blind person.

That awkward moment when you've said "what?" 3 times but still can't
hear what they said. So you just agree.

Wow! Texting is the main reason I wanted Siri, and she does other things
nicely but she is much faster at sending a text 99% of the time than I am
typing it unless I am where the Bluetooth keyboard happens to be.

I've had better success in turning off voice over first and then using Siri
like a sighted person to send texts. So, if I really want to use her, I turn
off voice over, I press and hold home. When it beeps I say text blah and the
message. she responds with the message and if she should send it, I simply
say yes without having to tap the listen button and it gets sent.
Although i like Siri very much for many things, I can honestly say that
texting isn't one of them. But as I said, when I do, this is what works
better.

Hello Iona,
Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. I discovered it a
couple of days ago.
To those of you who may not know, When using Siri to send a text
message, the screen locks before completing the process. It does not
matter how long the auto-lock is set.
NOTE 1:
If the message is short enough, only one word, for instance, Siri may
successfully send the text message. It may also work the first time
you attempt to send a message after powering on the device. However,
subsequent attempts with messages containing more than 5 words or so,
will time out before the message can be sent.
To create the bug, do the following:
NOTE 2:
I use the center button on the included iPHone wired headset to
interact with Siri.
1.
Launch Siri and say something like, "Send a message to Mark Taylor."
Siri will reply with something like, "You said, send a message to Mark
Taylor.
OK. I can send a message to Mark Taylor for you. What would you like
it to say?" At this point, a text message dialog box is displayed and
Siri will say something like, "To, Mark Taylor."
2.
Initiate the Siri command and say something like, "Hi Mark. How is
your day? I hope you are well." Siri will respond with something
like, "You said, Hi Mark. How is your day? I hope you are well. I
updated your message. Ready to send it? Reply with cancel or send."
NOTE 3:
For me more often than not, the screen locks at this point, before I
can send the message. I have also experienced the scenario when,
after initiating Siri and saying, "Send," Siri will respond with
something like, "You said Send. Okay, I will send it for you," only
to lock the screen, losing the message before it can be sent.
I strongly encourage those of you who have or can reproduce this bug
to either send a message to Apple at [email protected] or call
their accessibility hotline at: 877-204-3930.
Please feel free to use any part of this post.
