A split tap is just an alternative to a double tap. When you find a
button with one finger, like the dictate button, just tap the screen
somewhere else with another finger while leaving your first finger on
the screen. You could do this with a finger from your other hand or
another finger from the same hand or just use the double tap with the
same finger anywhere on the screen if you don't like the split tap.

split tap? Split

Hi there. All joking aside, it seems like you have such a low expectation of
how to use the iPhone,
or that using the iPhone is very difficult. If you can double tap one button
with one finger, and
you can do a two finger double tap, then you can use dictation. If this is an
acrobatic type of
gesture then that is up to you to decide. Please know that I mean no offense. I
do not know if you
have any sort of dexterity problems which would make certain gestures very
difficult to perform.
However most things with the iPhone are very easy to do. I also realize of
course that what I might
term as an easy gesture might be difficult for someone else. For example, I
find it kind of
difficult to perform a four finger tap on the upper part of the screen or a
four finger tap on the
lower part of the screen to move to the first or last element respectively. I
forget what this
gesture was to do this type of command in the past, but I do remember it being
a lot easier for me.
There are some people who have no problems doing this for finger gesture
though, so that is why I
say that some gestures might be easy for some and not for others.
Take care.

Hi, if Voice Over is running you will get the behavior you mentioned. If
you want Siri to behave the way it does everywhere else, in the larger
sighted world, then you have to turn off VoiceOver. In fact, if I'm
going to be interacting with Siri for any length of time which involves
more than 2 questions or things to do, I turn off VoiceOver. I don't
need her repeating what I asked, and then doing it. Plus I like the
responses sounding and feeling more like they way there were designed to
be, interactive. Personally I don't care for the way Siri works when
using it with VoiceOver, but that's just my opinion. I do however, love
the dictate button on all keyboards, and that's not the same thing.

When I woke up and turned over in bed and asked Siri what the weather
was like, she said, "You said, What's the weather like?" and then she
told me, which was good because it was raining and my chicken was ill.
But, is there a way that I can just have her answer me, without
telling me what I said? LIke the commercials on TV, where she just
comes back with the snappy response. It's sort of anticlimactic if she
repeats back to me what I said. Way to cut out this part?
Thanks. :)
