Gary there is a dictate button but the two finger double tap to start
dictation in an edit field worked flawlessly in IOS 7 saving you from
finding the dictate button. In IOS8 neither the two finger double tap in an
edit field or tapping the dicate button works when I have the issue.
Additionally someone just posted on AppleVis about the two finger double tap
not pausing audio when previewing a song in the iTunes store, so at least I
know it is not just me which I didn't think it was.

Wayne,
You must be one of the lucky few who the two finger double tap to answer
calls actually works, just read through the list as the majority of us do
not have that working. I also have had an awful time of using the two
finger tap in a text field to get dictation to work. In IOS 8.0.2 more
often than not doing so does absolutely nothing. If I put my finger on the
screen it will tell me it is listening but if I dictate it does nothing.
Overall my experience with IOS 8 has been terrible and I always do expect
some bugginess but this is ridiculous. I did read that the moronic guy in
QA at Apple who screwed up Apple maps was actually the guy in charge for
IOS 8 testing which tells me it must be hard to get fired from Apple.
considering that I have come to really rely on Apple as I have been using
VoiceOver since my 3S and this is the first time I have had severe issues.
If Apple ever does fix VoiceOVer and get it back to working like I had it
in IOS 7 I will not be updating unless I hear in the future of a pretty
positive user experience. To say I have learned my lesson is an
understatement.

Brian,
The 2 finger double tap to answer calls and start/stop media is
working fine for me on my iPhone 6. I have and use Downcast and it
works good in that app too. If I want to make sure I start the right
sort of media, like a podcast in Downcast, I will purposely look for
and hit the play button.

Wolpe music app is in the app switcher.

Ok when you say it works does it work all the time is it working with
answering calls and/or consistently working with stopping and
restarting
music?
Thanks for the advice pushing the volume buttons to silence my ringer
as
that just worked for answering a call. Will have to check on the next
one
if I can see the caller ID as I was so excited to hear the answer call
button that I just answered it.

Hey all,
Curious to hear what others have been doing as since it has been well
documented that Apple broke the two finer double tap for answering
calls
and playing music, I am curious as to what others are doing to answer
calls. I used to use the two finger double tap, and cannot hear
VoiceOver reading the screen to me over my ringtone. Therefore I have
been missing every call. What are others doing is there a simple way
to
know and find where the answer button is?
Has anyone else also discovered that the two finger double tap which
I
was able to use in IOS7 to quickly start continue playing what I was
playing in Downcast does not work anymore? Not sure if this is a
Downcast issue but doubt it considering the two finger double tap no
longer pauses audio when previewing any song in the iTunes store
there
is no way to stop the audio you are previewing as you have to let it
just play out.
Having IOS8 is like going back to a first generation product as so
much
that used to work does not. I have learned my lesson trusting Apple
and
updates and accessibility.
