Hi Vincent,

I do not have a 4s , but my daughter Clair, who is visually impaired, uses Siri 
when texting  all the time. When writing long texts or e-mails, during the 
dictation of a message she does a double tap of her two fingers to hold the 
message before continuing. Thus she can break a long message into several 
parts. When working like this and speaking clearly she has very little editing 
to do on long messages afterwards.

I hope this makes sense.

Brian

  Hi Vincent

   

  Siri is reasonably accurate if you speak clearly and not too fast. I tend to 
use it for short texts, and type in the longer ones on the touch-screen.  I'm 
also getting a bluetooth keyboard to help with that.  I wouldn't trust SIRI for 
longer texts, but maybe that's just a personal thing!

  And the fact that you can edit the texts obviously means you can fix any 
errors SIRI has made.

   

  I'm still a bit new to all this myself though.

  Hi Vincent,

   

  I have not tried predictive text, but with regards dictation, it is fairly 
accurate I have found. There have been times alright whenI have had to do some 
minor editing before sending but generally-speaking it is pretty-good!

   

  Given the fact that this is the first phone with Siri included it is great!

   

  There are a couple of Siri demos around the place alright ... one from Stuart 
Lawler and another one from Jonathon Mosen.

   

  I hope this helps Vincent.

  hey Sabrina 

  thanks for the response. how accurate is this predictive text. is there 
accent barriers with this. has it given you any trouble at all. i only sold an 
ifone 4 because i didn't have the patients  for it but this ifone that you can 
tell what to do sounds more appealing to me. especially since most of the 
phones in the shops are touch screen. many thanks.

   

  regards

  Vincent
