Hi Carol.

OK, a couple of things to note. Firstly, the email addresses of the contacts you want to email *must* be stored on your IPhone. If you're using a service like Google mail, Hotmail or other such email provider which stores contacts on a server to which the IPhone is associated, you'll see those contacts but Siri wont. Secondly, when sending an email to a contact, you can either reply to the message in the normal way, that is to say hit the reply button while reading the email, or hold down the home button, say "email to john smith" with your message for example. Siri will recite the message back to you and if all is correct, you can instruct Siri to send the message by saying "send message" or similar.

I hope this provides a little more incite for you.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Although there are some problems with dictation, I think most of mine come
from getting Siri to know which email to reply to, and sometimes whether to
send a message or email.

All clarification gratefully received with some examples if you can.

Hi Carol.

There really is no secret to using Siri above what has
been said already. When in a text field, use the dictate
button on the keyboard to dictate text, speak clearly and
try to speak in a complete sentence if at all possible. If you want punctuation in your text, you'll need to say
things like full stop, question mark, comma, exclamation
mark etc. as Siri doesn't have a detailed profile of your
voice like Dragon on the PC would create.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I've had quite a few failures too and have often resorted
to keyboard myself so, please, Ibrahim, tell us a few
secrets of words/expressions  Siri definitely understands
here in the UK and, while you're at it, do you find the
"Dictate" button more successful, as I do, in that Siri
then seems to know where I'm going.
I thought he was supposed to learn our style, etc., and I
hoped he'd learn some of the words he gets wrong, but I'm
not convinced on that right now. Again, I've had some
success with queries and of course setting reminders
etc., but dictation isn't going as well as I'd hoped.
