Is it possible to use dictation in iOS to include an emoji in a text message?
Thanks.

I've been experiencing a problem recently when dictating e-mail messages or other items on my iPhone when using VoiceOver.
I am using an iPhone 6 and iOS 9.2.1.
The problem is that as I dictate, VoiceOver is trying to immediately speak back what I have entered. Then the phone hears what VoiceOver is speaking and will insert what it heard into the text.
For example, I will say something like:
"It is a nice day"
and as I am dictating VoiceOver can be heard to say "nice day".

Hello I devic users. I have an Iphone 5 with 7.1 installed. Yesterday, dictation completely broke down with no rhyme or reason as to why. Do I do a soft reset, a hard reset, or do I have to take the phone to the apple store and have them do some tricks to make it work? I tried powering down the phone and turning it back on to no avail. Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Some of the voice commands no longer work such as "numeral 1", it types out "numeral one" instead of "1" like it did before.
Anyone know what the new command is for that?
When I need to go back and edit something the cursor jumps back to where I left it instead of going to the new place, and it takes several tries to get it to stay where I want it.
And last but not least, when the microphone turns off if I pause for too long, it inserts a tab?!
I don't know where to complain about this to Apple, any suggestions?

Whenever I try to dictate text in iOS7.03, all VO says is: "Thinking..." The text is never inserted. Dictation worked well in iOS7.02. Has anyone else had this problem? The devices I am using are the iPhone 4S and the iPod Touch fifth generation. I am using the internal mic. BlueTooth is off. Could this be the problem?

I don't know what has caused this situation. Yesterday, I could dictate on Facebook and in text messages. Today, I hear a sound when I enter an edit field but a two finger double tap does nothing. In fact, when in message composition, I don't even see the keyboard. I haven't done anything to change this procedure. Installing my new Focus 40 braille display and pairing it with Bluetooth is the only thing I have done iOS related. I did download new app store updates but that should not have changed anything. I have the latest iOS 13 update installed. Any suggestions?

As you can see my by my posts are used dictation.
The unfortunate thing is, dictation doesn’t understand me.
It’s sad, and Apple really needs to improve on dictation.
It understands English quite clearly, and I do speak English, very well.
What is going on, dictation is going terrible and terrible every single day.

I can't get dictation to work in whatsapp. It working on emails and messages. The magic tap makes the sound and I get a message to say "thinking" but nothing appears in the edit field. I updated to the latest version of the app a few days ago.

Hi its Carlos,
I was trying to dictate my billing and mailing address in to apple pay.
When I use the dictation it lets me say my first name and sometimes my last name.
But when I try to dictate my address it makes the noice like I hit the home button or something like it and brings me back to the home screen.
Some times it has done that when I was trying to enter my last name as well.
it has happened in the billing and shipping address fields.
Has anyone encountered problems like this?

When dictating a text message or email, how can you insert punctuation? Do you just say period, question mark, comma, etc? Thanks.

Sent a message to a friend. One sentence, dictation turned off. It wouldn't restart. Using a 12 and latest IOS. Once again apple congratulations for putting out an inferior product. Time to be a bitch and email and call and show them in person.

I'm having an issue with voice dictation and trying to capitalize an entire phrase where every letter in every word within that phrase is uppercase. I'm using the command "All caps on...[phrase]" but when I do that it inserts the word "ON" and only uses uppercase letters for the o and n in the word ON like this "ON...[phrase]". None of the following text is uppercase. I'm using iOS 18.4.1 on an iPhone 13 Max. Am I missing something? Thanks

I've a couple of questions about voices and speech in iOS 9.
First, can someone tell me the difference between the speech settings directly under accessibility and the speech settings under Voiceover? I noticed there are speed settings under both areas, but only the speed setting under speech in Voiceover effects the speaking rate. The other setting seems to have no effect. So what do the speech settings directly under accessibility control? Why have speech settings in 2 places?

Has anyone found a good dictionary that works with voiceover? My student will be using it on an iPad.
Thank you!

Hi All,
I'm looking for a dictionary app that will read the word letter by letter. The ones that I have tried free and paid will not do this. Maybe there is a settin on my phone or I pad that I'm missing that can make this work for me.
Thanks John

Was setting up an iPhone 16e for my girlfriend the other day that we managed to get at a good price, and couldn't help thinking how much I actually like the phone.
I have a 16 pro max personally, the base 256GB one, but when I was using the 16e, I realised I couldn't help but appreciate how simple it was. Nice, compact, fast, and just the essentials that you need in a phone.
I found the battery to be really good as well, and that's been consistent since after the setup, I also prefer the speakers the 16e, which I believe someone else here said at one point.

I opened up the YouTube iOS app today and I’m noticing on all the videos I pull up, there’s no more time scrubber. I have the buttons to go forward or backward, but that’s it. Hoping this is just a temporary glitch. This would be a serious Impediment to navigating within a YouTube video if it’s gone now or otherwise inaccessible.

Good time everyone. I was searching through our settings>general>language, and I found out that there are different types of English. What are they differences? I understand about the accents, but what are the difference in writing style.

Hi, can anyone tell me the difference between the Sendero gps look around, and the Ariadne gps. I now they both don't have turn by turn. I don't want to buy both apps. Is one more accessible than the other? Is one more accurate? Thanks for any help.
