IPhone 6 :: Siri And Text Dictation Have Stopped Working
Dec 4, 2014
Siri and text dictation have both stopped working. I have checked the settings and they are on, have restarted and reset as instructed in the user guide if a problem, still not working.
For the last couple days, my iPhone wouldn't dictate anything I say and Siri just keeps saying, "I'm really sorry about this..." I've had issues in the past but they would usually resolve themselves within a few minutes. The only thing I can really think of that's different is that I had AT&T change my iPhone number a couple weeks ago.
Or if not who would be the better resource, AT&T support or Apple support?
I can't find the option to turn on dictation so Siri can write my emails, my messages, and to respond in apps like whatsapp and other apps that require writing
Started last night. Worked intermittently.Now can't understand a thing I stay -- using the approved phrasing, too.What's going on???? I upgraded because I wanted siri!
The voice to text option is not working anymore on my iPhone 5s. When I press the microphone button and talk, it looks like it's processing but then just stops and never enters text. Siri won't answer either when I talk to it.
I've had this problem on and off since getting my Photon, but now I can't seem to fix it after power recycles, battery pulls, and uninstalling new apps.
When I press the microphone key on the keyboard to use voice dictation, all I see is the microphone with a red line through it and a message above that saying "Voice Initializing" and it just hangs there. I've let it do that as long as five minutes, but with no success. I can still use the Google voice search bar and the voice commands app, just can't do voice from the keyboard.
My text messaging just stopped working. When I press the centre button on the text message or message menus the phone does not respond, and seems stuck. The problem is not due to the carrier or service since I can make and receive phone calls.
Up to a few days ago Siri worked just fine. Now, it doesn't.Â
For some reason when I say "Call my wife" Siri can figure out who my wife is but cannot find the contact information and says there is no phone number listed for her. But when I look at my contacts myself I see the phone number right there. And, when I say "Who is my wife?" Siri then says that there are no contact details for my wife. Siri says my wife's name but no contact details! There ARE contact details though it is just that Siri cannot find them for some reason.Â
Why is this? I never changed anything on the phone in the last few days. It just suddenly stopped working.
Learned words are gone and won't add.. won't learn from my messages or apps. I get a 'keyboard has stopped ' message when I go into the predictive text settings... so annoyed. I've had every galaxy, this one has had so many issues.... dealing with this phone for about a year...
I'm probably going to have to take this in to the local US Cellular store to see if they can figure out what is going on. I tried sending texts to three different individuals this morning and all are not going through. Initially I was using Go SMS Pro as my default SMS program. Thinking something may be messed up with that program, I switched my default SMS program to the phone's Text Messaging program. Still cannot send or receive any messages. I am on a business plan (which my wife is on as well). She is receiving and sending texts fine. I tried sending her a test text, and it tells me "Message Not Sent". I had her send a test text to me. It shows that it sends fine on her end, but I never get anything.
Is there any error log I can look at to see what's going on? I have powered my phone off and on 3 times already this morning and that hasn't fixed the issue. Any suggestions or am I just going to have to take it in? I hate doing that because they're just going to do a Factory Reset I'm sure since they aren't too good on the technical side of things.
My curve 9300 just randomly stopped working I cannot txt or receive texts or use bbm and when I try and make a phone call it says 7ut1 your phone is not activated on the network what does this mean and how can I fix it? I've tried taking out the battery.
I have tried everything the volume is up I'm connected to Wi-Fi I even did a reset but Siri only text me and does not talk please help. Yes I have disabled her and re-enabled her and she still does not talk
I'm very impressed with the dictation capabilities of the iPhone 4S.Unfortunately, some words—especially names—have multiple spellings. It's wonderful that dictation recognizes these words.But when dictation doesn't use the desired spelling then remedial editing is required.For example, 'Alison', 'Allison', and 'Alyson' are all correct spellings for a name. Unfortunately, dictation uses 'Allison' but I need 'Alison'.Is there any way to train/specify the spelling of words that dictation recognizes but spells differently than is needed?
Ive been trying to use my Siri to dictate text messages, but it always goes to Facetime. I tried going into Settings to see if I could change something, but Siri is not there.
Updated to latest ios today siri still not working, tried reset, on off, mic working when I do a recording or phone call.Whats going on with IOS, worked before ok.
It seems that after the last iOS update (5.1) I now have to type in my passcode and unlock my phone before I can use Siri to make a call or text. WTH? That completely defeats the purpose of using Siri at all for those tasks! Please tell me why this wasn't introduced as an option rather than FORCED on me. Or explain how I can get Siri back to how she was before, so I can make calls while driving. It is EXTREMELY unsafe to take your eyes off the road and stare at your phone while you type in the passcode so you can make a call. Siri was perfect before.
Is there a way to reset Siri. Honestly I don't think this will fix my issue but I have tried everything else. The situation is this - when I ask Siri to call my wife it says it replies - which wife; first name last name OR first name middle name last name? Now, I don't have more than one entry for my wife in my contacts. Clearly something got stuck. I need to know how to reset that. I have turned on and off Siri, turned off and on my icloud contacts. removed and readded my wifes contact.
