Yes, the two-finger double tap to initiate dictation mode, then dictate, then the two-finger double tap to end dictation mode works in most edit fields. Usually, for most apps, as long as the keyboard is on the screen, I have been able to use this method. I have had success with most apps and only occasionally, I run into a glitch. In those cases though, the dictation button is greyed out and dictation just won't work. :) It only took once for me to get the hang of it. I will say though, if that keyboard is not pulled up, music will start playing instead. :) LOL! I've done that quite a few times.
