Hi Peter,
What iOS device do you have? I just tried this on my 5S. As you said, dictation did not work when I was streaming Audible to my Airport Express using Airplay. I even tried it with Voiceover turned off since it’s relatively easy to tap the dictate button and I got the same result. I would hear the SIRI listening tone followed immediately by the tone SIRI makes when it stops listening. I then went back to the Audible app, tapped on Airplay and selected my iPhone again and as soon as I did SIRI and dictation worked fine, I did not have to reboot. I am wondering if this could be different for older devices. At least in iOS 8.1 Voiceover on the iPod Touch Fifth Gen once again stays on the iPod, after I upgraded to iOS 8 Voiceover on the iPod Touch was sent to the Airplay device along with the audio stream which was like in the first days of Airplay and a big pain in the neck because there is an at least 3 to 4 second delay when you do something until voiceover announces it that way. I guess slowly bugs are being fixed and considering how it has been reported that Apple will be pushing iOS 8 updates quicker and how they are already working on iOS 8.2 and 8.3 there is hope for more fixes. I don’t even remember that there was ever a Dot 2 or Dot 3 update in any previous iOS version except in iOS 4. iOS 5, 6 and 7 only saw a Dot 1 update and some subversions of that so it will definitely be interesting to see what features Apple will reveal in 8.2 and 8.3 providing the rumours are correct and iOS 8 will go as high as 8.3. If anybody is interested in the history of iOS versions, there is a good Wikipedia article called “History of iOS” at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_iOS Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Durieux Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 7:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Dictate and other issues Hi, did you use an airplay device between the time it was working and not? Siri and dictation was broken when I had streamed to an airplay device.]Rebooting fixes the problem.

I think of her as an individual because I have doubled my vocabulary of forbidden words thanks to my inability to get Siri to listen. However, I am having a different sort of listening issue this morning. Yesterday dictate was working fine. This morning I received a text and I attempted to dictate an answer and discovered that my dictate did not function at all. Does anyone know where I can go to check my dictation status or settings? I also had issues inside the edit boxes of the text message and eventually gave up and connected my Sharkk Bluetooth keyboard just to send the text message. Thanks for any advice.
