Dictation is not working for texts., Dictation is not working for texts.

My dictation feature is not working. The line is not very "wavy" when I speak. How can I rectify this problem?

My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

Iphone 6 (Verizon,64GB,space gray) microphone works for text dictation and Siri but stopped working for calls and voice memos.

My iphone 6 the micorphone has stoppped working unless I speak loudly right into it and its still not clear during calls and voice memos. But it works just fine for Siri and text dictation. I use the earbuds for work so not sure how long its been going on. Only change is I updated to iOS 8.1.3. Not sure if I should exchange my phone or if its a software glitch since the same mic seems to work for some things and not others. Any ideas would be apreciated.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out. There is no function at all.

Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo. It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits. If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem. At least it did for me. I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

IPhone 6 External Mic not working for Siri/Dictation

I am finding that the external mic on my iPhone 6 works for phone calls and voice memos, but does not work for Siri/Dictation. When I plug in the earbuds, they work for everything (including Siri/Dictation).
Was chatting to Apple support who had me reset all settings. I thought that worked, but realized that after a reset, Siri is off and I was talking to "Voice control" (which works). When I turned Siri back on, it does not work.
I have two questions for the community to see if you can help:
1- I have been assuming this must be a software problem since the mic does work for non-Siri access. But is that true? Is there a hardware component that Siri depends on which could be faulty here?
2- If it is software, what action should I try to address it? I have done a reset all settings already and that did not help.

Hi, everyone. I talked to Apple Genius at Apple Store last week, she said it should be a software issue and I needed to reset my iphone 6 plus as a new device and I can not use the backup restore from my iCloud, it was because the microphone bug or glitch can be in the backup also. Ok, followed her advice, erased all contents and set my iphone as a new device , the microphone worked for an hour, but went bad again. I used "voice memo" app from Apple to test the microphone. It is the best tool since it doesn't involve any provider's network and it doesn't need another person's phone to listen and test. If you can hear your voice recording clearly, then the mic works. I tested it 3-4 times a day for a few days now, half of the time the mic doesn't work. So, set as a new device isn't working. The issue is intermittent and it comes and goes as it likes, so very annoying. I carry my Apple EarPods with me in these past few days ust in case I need to make important phone calls. Will need to go back to Apple Genius this weekend for sure. Will give update after the weekend.

I built a website for a customer using HTML only, so it would work on everything, but some of the text numbers are not clear on the ipad. It works perfectly on all the other browsers.

I built a website for a customer using HTML only, so it would work on any browser, and it works perfectly on everything except ipad safari. I'm loosing information with most of my text numbers - instead of being black they are displaying a 'ghost' image (white) of the numbers.
Is this a memory issue, or cache issue, or something else? I've downloaded iCab and the site works perfectly with it.
Also wondering if I can manually reload/refresh web pages in iPad Safari.
Since most people with iPads will use Safari rather than iCab, I have to tweak this site to work in Safari.

Detecting phone numbers and making them clickable is a feature of the browser, and rebuilding your web-site links will not make any difference. Its done when the page is shown in the browser, not when the page is created.
According to the Safari iOS developers guide, you can turn these data detectors off using this code:
<meta name = "format-detection" content = "telephone=no">

VTML-Tags for text-to-speech do not work in Captivate 6 - are they working in Cap. 7 again?

I had a hart time to find out, that the functionality was "forgotten" to be programmed in the version 6.
Together with Neospeech I worked long to make single voices work in full functionality and it cost additional licence fee... unfortunately the voices sound tinny so I cannot really use them...and due to different time zones it is hard to find the error together with Neospeech
Now I see that Captivate 7 is available.
Is there already qualified info if the vtml tags work again like they did in older versions?
Adobe Support hotline was NO HELP at all, very unfriendly... only idea was, that I should get the test version and find out myself, pretty impertinent.

Hi
You might already know this, but stating it here to rule out the simple failure cases.
I have had a similar problem in the past using VTML tags inside Captivate. I used to type the slidenotes in my favorite editor and then copy paste the text from there to the slidenotes panel of Captivate. Turns out that my editor was using Unicode and hence the entire text pasted into Captivate slidenotes became unicode text, including the VTML markers. Though the pasted text "looked" fine the markers were messed up (for example, the double quotes around the value attributes looked like double quotes but they were actually multibyte unicode sequences) and this confused Neospeech. The output audio would be funny (for example it would read "Less Than...V...T...M...L...") or NeoSpeech will crash taking down Captivate along with it.
The fix was quite simple. I started typing the slide notes from within Captivate slide notes panel and everything worked fine after that. Alternately I could type in my favorite editor (after making sure that it is operating in Plain text mode) and then copy paste work flow also worked fine.
Another common mistake (at least, I do that often) is to select the speech agent from the drop down at the top of the dialog and forgetting to choose the speech agents for individual slide notes, which may still be referring to a non-neo-speech agent which does not understand the VTML tags.
No other software tool was required like the German Adobe Support team may have mentioned. I am using Captivate 7.

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanks

If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

Text box in page setup for P6 V8 is not working

I tried to make my own footer & header for the layout of my report for the software P6 V8 but it is not functioning in the field of Text/Box only.
Even editing on this field is not working. I tried to reinstall the software, but nothing happen
What should I do?

Hi Athish,
The only thing i can think of in the link you pasted is it has https instead of just http (i'm assuming you did put the real servername in).
You could maybe try using the IP Address instead.
Failing that try creating your own domain for it and see if it works like that.
I haven't tried deploying it under a managed server nor do i let the P6 installer do any of the weblogic configuration so it could be something in the way it is deployed that is different than just creating a new weblogic domain with an AdminServer.
Is there anything showing in the log file? Either P6 or Weblogic (you may need to set the logging level to debug)

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

SetText() works for one text area but not for another

I am student new to java so forgive me if I'm making an obvious mistake. I have a GUI with 3 tabs. Two tabs have a text area in each in them and an action listener tells the textarea what to print. The problem is one text area works and the other doesn't. they are declared in the same way so I can't see why the problem occurs.

If you have copied and pasted code for the second one, it is possible that you are setting text for the first text area at both the places. Check if you are calling the setText method on both the text areas and not the same one twice.

For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

Hi Begin,
I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

Timing of text box will not appear. My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

Timing of text box not working. I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear. And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show. Help anyone.

Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

Bug: Text Search is not working for Excel spreadsheets

Hi,
We have published several Excel, Word and PowerPoint file items to our portal application content area.
However, The intermedia text search is not returning the excel files - it is working on other file formats though!
I have even tried directly issueing select from sqlplus. eg.,:
select name,filename from wwv_document$ where name like '%.XLS'
AND CONTAINS(BLOB_CONTENT,'network')>0;
Result>> No rows selected.
We are using Portal3.0.9 and 8.1.7 DB.
Thanks in advance!
Ram

Firstly, are you syncronizing your indexes. Newly added content is not searchable until the indexes have been synced. See the Portal configuration guide for how to do this.
Are your Excel files being indexed successfull? After indexing, are there any entries for the WWSBR_DOC_CTX_INDX in the ctx_user_index_errors view. You should be able to join via the rowid to the wwdoc_document$ table to see which docs are failing if any are.
