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.-----Original Message----- From: Carol Pearson

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. -- Carol P ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
