Dictation makes participating in forums awesome on the new iPad

This feature is amazing! I'm baffled as to why this is getting so little attention in the media and reviews.

I'm noticing that the dictation on the iPad seems a lot more accurate than on the iPhone. By the way, I am dictating this from my iPad.

Well, I keep forgetting to try it out. Maybe I should try now...

I tried, but I'm sitting under a hair dryer at the moment which confounded it completely when the ipad is in my lap. No surprises there then, but it got a few words if I brought the iPad right up to my face, yet this also means it's nearer the loud dryer. Though to be honest I am impressed it picked anything out at all in under those conditions.

I agree. Voice dictation is awesome.

I usually have music or radio on when I'm on MR, so the background noise will confuse it too much. It's useful for letters, texts etc. though.

I can't find the voice dictation key on the virtual keyboard. It should be next to the space key but instead there's a globe icon. I have Wi-Fi enabled.

The dictation feature on the new iPad is absolutely awesome, I think it is going to make keyboards almost redundant it is so good, I hardly use the keyboard at all now.😀

Y'all may not know that I'm from the south. This dictation app is giving me a hard time. Dictation needs a name, can't call it Siri. I'm thinking stupid might apply. Okay, now I'm just being silly.

LOL, that was fun but it made a few mistakes in the process. 😀

Hey, it spelled y'all correctly - that's pretty good!
