I agree with that, Sieghard. The only way I'd get a keyboard would be for at home calling the bank or other offices requiring a lot of dialing dialog. We have a landline with Internet, so right now, I'm just using that.

A keyboard maybe fine if you are at home a lot, but I use my phone a lot when I am out and about, I may need to send or reply to a text while I am walking with my dog and in those situations a keyboard just is not a solution. I also feel that a powerful and small device such as an iPhone should not require me to lug along all sorts of other expensive gear to use it efficiently. Anyways, dictation for the most part works well enough especially if you are a bit practiced in it and by that I mean exactly what Richard said, makek sure you know what you want to say before you just start and then you end up with strange sentence structure, little or no punctuation and so on.Being blind is no excuse for not using proper capitalization, punctuation, grammar and spelling. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Monday, August 28, 2023 2:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: siri sucks. One option is to not use dictation at all, and if you know braille, to get a hable one bluetooth keyboard. Another bluetooth qwerty keyboard would work as well.
