Do you know if this feature would be available for a 8 inch 6th generation fire
tablet?
Also, concerning the never lock setting, what kind of pitfalls are we talking
about?

Hi listers. Last night, I got ahold of my wife's Fire 7 inch 7th
Generation tablet to check for updates. This is the tablet that came
out with Hands-Free Alexa.
This tablet had not been turned on since June, 2018. My wife, after
graduating with a Masters in Special Education in January of that year
decided to take a mission opportunity at a Boy's home in Jamaica
teaching math and English. She took that tablet with her, however, the
wifi was spotty and the tablet was used very little. Coming home, it
just sat.
Anyway, when I fired up the tablet, it went through 5 major updates.
At the end of this process, I learned about Voice Dictation and a ton
of new gestures!
Voice Dictation with the default email app? The poop: When you either
reply or create a new message, the subject and message boxes can be
voiced. As you swipe down past the focused text box, you will hear to
do a two finger double tap and hold on the glass. After hearing a
chime, start talking, still holding on the glass with your two
fingers.
When done, just release and you will hear your spoken words created in
the edit box. Hint: finish a sentence by saying period or
exclaim/question mark. The dictation was perfect!
So, for the new Voice Dictation, no longer an icon on the keyboard.
It's just a gesture!
That's the skinny! Stay well. William
