Yes, what I meant to say is that I use Dictation to create text messages.
So, for clarification, I go into Messages, choose Compose, and double tap
the Dictate button to add the recipient I wish to text, ending the dictation
with a two-finger double tap. Then I go to the edit field and double tap
the Dictate button again to speak my message. I double tap the Dictate
button to finish speaking, then choose Send to dispatch the message.
I hope this makes sense Brendan. You can, of course, use the on-screen
keyboard to type your messages, but it takes a bit of practice.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Using Siri on my iPhone 5 I find the dictation route rather better than
trying to create a text or email direct from Siri which can take a very long
time. also, for some reason, results seem to be more accurate.
