Mine’s Joy. You used to be able to “teach“ the phone by using predictions. The words show up just above the keyboard. It’s doable without vision. However now it’s acting weird since we moved. Do you think a half an hour drive wouldn’t make a difference to a phone! My phone was accurate with dictate about 90% of the time. Like I said, WAS.
