[Blindtlk] iPhone drawbacks?

Oh, you mean like the voice commands feature on the Haven which
one time when I said "Call Mom, mobile 1," it thought I said
"Call Mom, mobile 4" and told me there was only one number
associated with her contact, which was the mobile 1 number? Yeah;
those voice command features can't always be trusted as reliable,
although I've found Siri to be more responsive and more reliable
than a lot of other speech recognition software, when testing it
on my parents' and my friend's phones. I wonder how reliable
Dragon Dictate is; has anybody on this list used it?

exists. If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."

I don't have the 4S yet but even if I did, I think I'd only use
Siri for
amusement. I'm not very keen on voice recognition software for
dictating
documents.

Those with an iPhone 4G Siri version, isn't it easier to speak
to Siri
using
your voice commands and heave Siri deliver the text instead of
having to
physically type each letter into the keypad?
Thanks,

In my case, when I make a call on my Iphone, the keypad stays
exposed.
Now, when you have it set for touch typing, as I do, and you
need

screen.
This is because, as we Iphone > users know, with touch typing,
you
move one finger around the screen and, > when you hear the
character
you wish, lift your finger off and that > character will type
in
right away.
