No, I don’t use dictation, but since I spend a lot of time typing on my phone, and sometimes try to do this when I shouldn’t, I hoped to learn how. I fiddled with it myself and figured out the punctuation thing which I think you mentioned. I’m still not sure if there are other commands or basic ways to edit what is written since I can’t seem to complete a sentence without needing to edit, which defeats the purpose if I have to do it manually. But I’m specifically not sure how to send a message that I’ve dictated into a text message! I’ve tried every command I can think of, and it just writes it all as part of the text, including the extended and colorful section toward the end, where my language is appalling, and Siri is probably not as good at interpreting speech that is screamed at it. Honestly, I should try googling it before threatening Siri’s family in such abhorrent ways.
Is this happening when your phone is on and you’re using it, or is it just randomly starting dictating your conversations when it’s closed and you’re not using it?
I wish you could explain a bit better what I do if the dictation understood something wrong and if there is some kind of feature where I can say “strike that”.
Good question! If you were typing and wanted to “press enter” for a new line or paragraph, you could say “new line” or “new paragraph” but with your question, to end a paragraph, or end dictation altogether, you tap the microphone and this stops the feature. I hope my response answers your question and helps!
You do not mention the best thing about dictation feature! I have to transfer a lot of typed sheets of paper that are 50 years old to save the chore of re typing everything on Word! It can be saved from dictation. Please be a bit clearer about working from Notes as my iPhone screen is not like yours. Thanks for your piece! Dave
Great question, from my experience and research you cannot dictate emojis, although there are some pretty funny stories about what happened when people tried! 😂
Greatness Every Day thanks 4 your answer, I use dictation 4 years it is great. Sometimes I suppose by accident I dictate and than a emoji comes. I tried different things but don’t know how you can dictate emoji correctly
You forgot about, Next line? So I gather from the way you dictated to Notes, you controlled your voice depending when it’s a comma, period or text. Louder is text and much softer voice is for punctuation? Do you have any thoughts on that?
I would encourage you to speak as clearly as possible and I know that I have to change my pronunciation for specific words sometime using dictation instead of how I would normally speak talking, but I have also heard that it learns our speech patterns over time, so hopefully it naturally improves the more you use it!
Thanks for your feedback Tom, this is something I've changed over time and you can see that demonstrated in my latest videos. I appreciate you watching and your insights!
Great suggestion! I would suggest making sure your auto-suggestion is turned on and whenever I see a word spelled wrong, I tap the word and it gives me a few options to change it. This link will help you for now, but this is a great topic for another video! support.apple.com/en-us/HT207767
If you end a sentence with a “period” the next sentence you start with dictation should automatically be capitalized. If it isn’t for some reason, you can say “cap” followed by the word you want to capitalize the first letter of and that should do the trick. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day! 🙌
I am typing this comment using the dictation feature on my iOS device. Many of times it does not get all my words correct. I was searching for a way to improve it. I think this is because of my Indian accent 🤣

Hi Brayden, I just tried it and it worked for me. If you “right click” on it, does it work? Or what if that doesn’t work, typing it in might fix it. If not, search “dictation commands for iPhone” on Google and there should be many options for you!

Hi Michelle, From the research I did I found that dictation works with most apps, but not all. I couldn't find a reason to explain it other than some app developers haven't enabled this feature. Hopefully it starts working soon!
Great point Peter, so thanks for the feedback. I will definitely consider a more detailed review if I do another video and people can find more detailed commands here: www.google.ca/amp/s/matthopkins.com/gadgets/60-dictation-commands-available-on-your-iphone-or-ipad/amp/
Thanks for your question, but I’m not sure what you mean by “wire dictating” can you explain what that means so I can help answer it? To capitalize all letters in a sentence or phrase, use the command “all caps on...” and “all caps off...”

I use the built-in "voice memos" app on your phone which records for 100 minutes, or another free app like "Voice Record 7" for recording voices in a meeting. I do not not know how to enable someone else's voice for dictation and will look into it more and keep you posted if I find something, but there is nothing online about this that I could find. I hope this helps!

It works perfectly, i started this video on my android and placed it near my iphone and it typed everything you said. 👍 Thanks
I’m glad to hear that, I hope the other videos on my channel help you out too!
Great! Here's a question for you. How do I STOP my iPhone from typing conversations I am not dictating?
Is this happening when your phone is on and you’re using it, or is it just randomly starting dictating your conversations when it’s closed and you’re not using it?
I wish you could explain a bit better what I do if the dictation understood something wrong and if there is some kind of feature where I can say “strike that”.
Thank you for your feedback, if I make another dictation video I will definitely add that in. Thanks for watching!
I’d like to know how to dictate also the smiles (emodzi ).
I don't know of a way to dictate emojis, but to do a happy face, you could say "colon, right parentheses" and that will do it!
How do you ‘press enter’. Like end paragraph.

Honestly, I didn’t know this could happen. Thanks for sharing this, I’m going to look into it! 🙌
This was great. I'm on Android but don't use dictation enough given the potential efficiency
I know that Google has a good dictation software, but I’d check the Play Store out for other apps if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
That I use personally? I is personally no need to say it twice.
Thanks for clarifying that!
Hi can you also dictate emoji’s?
Great question, from my experience and research you cannot dictate emojis, although there are some pretty funny stories about what happened when people tried! 😂
Greatness Every Day thanks 4 your answer, I use dictation 4 years it is great. Sometimes I suppose by accident I dictate and than a emoji comes. I tried different things but don’t know how you can dictate emoji correctly
If I discover anything new, I’ll try to update you. Thanks for commenting and I hope the other videos on my channel help you! 🙏
Hi this video is great
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🙌
How do I activate it?
Using an iPhone, it should be the “mic” button in the bottom right corner.
You forgot about, Next line?
So I gather from the way you dictated to Notes, you controlled your voice depending when it’s a comma, period or text. Louder is text and much softer voice is for punctuation? Do you have any thoughts on that?
Mine writes completely different things to what I say. Can you tell me how to stop it doing that?
I would encourage you to speak as clearly as possible and I know that I have to change my pronunciation for specific words sometime using dictation instead of how I would normally speak talking, but I have also heard that it learns our speech patterns over time, so hopefully it naturally improves the more you use it!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Your podcast has way too much promotion of your product. Please just tell us how to use dictation in more detail
Thanks for your feedback Tom, this is something I've changed over time and you can see that demonstrated in my latest videos. I appreciate you watching and your insights!
How do you put question mark?
When you are using dictation, you can simply say "question mark" and it will automatically use the "?" instead of spelling it out.
Please add how to change the words Siri spells wrong such as Fossett to be properly spelled as faucet!!
Great suggestion! I would suggest making sure your auto-suggestion is turned on and whenever I see a word spelled wrong, I tap the word and it gives me a few options to change it. This link will help you for now, but this is a great topic for another video! support.apple.com/en-us/HT207767

Is there a way to capitalize the first letter of a new sentence?
If you end a sentence with a “period” the next sentence you start with dictation should automatically be capitalized. If it isn’t for some reason, you can say “cap” followed by the word you want to capitalize the first letter of and that should do the trick.

Hello.
I use the iPhone and I love using the dictation also. But is there a way to make wire dictating something, where all the letters are in caps
Thanks for your question, but I’m not sure what you mean by “wire dictating” can you explain what that means so I can help answer it?
To capitalize all letters in a sentence or phrase, use the command “all caps on...” and “all caps off...”

Nice Video, BUT how can I get the iPhone to record other people's voices in a meeting? It only seems to use my voice.
Are you trying to record an in-person meeting, or a meeting happening on a phone call?

You find typing stressful 🤔
I find it much easier and faster to dictate what I want to say. Sometimes my words get ahead of my fingers when texting! 😂
No video. Just voice.
Thanks for letting me know, I hope it's working now.
For some reason dictation works faster with me when I speak faster to the phone
starts 1:10 approx
Thanks David! 🤙
Haha. I write texts like that. 😊...🦋💕
Haha, it saves time and energy!
I do use the iOS dictation feature. Just started using it and love it.
That's great to hear Cathy, thanks for watching!
