iPad - Siri and Dictation beep twice

[eicca]

When activating Siri or dictation, the beep noise happens twice. This is only on my iPad 2017 9.7”. My iPhone 6S does not do this. Anybody else see this on their devices?

This was present on public beta 12 and now the GM release as well.

Nobody uses Siri anymore...?

 

[eicca]

Nobody is willing to take half a second and press their home button to help me know if I’ll need to wipe my device or not?

 

[eicca]

Wow, really? Nobody?

hasnt it always beeped twice? It stopped doing so on phones since ios10 or something though

I don't mean like the "ding ding" like it's supposed to make, my iPad goes "di- ding-ding." So like once and a half. Dictation goes "di- ding"

Oh. Works fine for me on iPad Air 2. Latest beta. On my phone, sometimes under 11, the audio cuts out and a notification comes in sounding like a buzz and repeats but that’s about it. Haven’t seen it happen in 12 yet

One chime means that the software is using on-device processing to commence dictation. Two times means it’s using a server to complete the process. In my experience, service-side processing is way more accurate than on-device. But on-device ain’t so bad. It’s actually pretty decent. Just nowhere near the accuracy of a server.

hopefully this finally reduces a lot of the mental pressure for @eicca trying to get an answer… roughly 3 years and a month later 🤠

nota bene: valuable information, thanks a lot (again) @FreekieGeekie
