Hi. Can you dictate your messages and other text in edit fields just as you can
with the iPHone. I use to dictate messages when I had the old HTC ChaCha which
had a keyboard. I could only do it via the Mobile Accessibility app as all I
had to do is to hold down the volume up key to dictate a message and I use to
get suggestions of sentences and usually it always came up with the right
sentence at the top of the suggested list.
