TS1702 Speech to Text on iPad Air

I have a brand new iPad Air and want to be able to create an email using speech that is converted to text.

Tap in the text field for the message, then tap the microphone icon next to the space bar. This should allow you to dictate (only with an internet connection).

I am trying to send SMS text via iPad Air and cannot. I have gone into my iPhone and "forward message to iPad". However I am prompted to enter "code shown on iPad"... What code and where do I find that on iPad??

The home screen is the screen that shows all of your app icons. You can have one home screen or up to 11 home screens depending on how many apps you have. The home screen on an iPad is the equivalent of the desktop screen on a computer. If you are using an app, just tap the home button once to return to a home screen.
This is is a (my) home screen.

Speeche to text on iPad 3

When I chance the keybord to English a microphone icon must appear on the keybord display. It didn't.
What could be the reason?
Now I can't use the Speeche to text utility. How can I solve this?

You can't downgrade the iOS as it is not supported by Apple. Try quitting the Message app completely and restart your iPad and see if the button will work.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IPad Air/iOS8.1 - Text to speech issue with multiple languages.

Hi,
I'm facing troubles while letting my iPad Air (iOS 8.1) to read a text (pdf book in English) loud as it reads one page correctly in English (text is in English)while some other pages it tries to read in Czech (text in English), which sounds strange (and it is hard to understand too). I have both languages installed. Same issue happened with a web site content as well.
Could anyone please help me with that?
I need let iPad read the book loud at once, as it is written - in English.
Many thanks,
M.

Hi Tom,
thanks for responding.
It is unlikely. I have just opened the pdf and swiped with two fingers from the top of the iPad' rim and the "read all page" function has immediately started to read the content automatically.
But as it ends reading this page and continues to read the next one, the problem occures (Czech voice starts to read english text on the second page, which is in English too). iPad stayed untouched during reading.
Nor if I try to select block of text. If I select just few words on both pages, the reading option appears, giving me option to choose language. Then it works correctly on both "sample" pages. But if I do the same and tap and select whole page as a block of text, then again the issue occures.
Wierd...
Thanks for help.
M.

What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
Can anyone help me on this? Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
Thanks, Joan

You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done.
No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
Best of luck.

I just got a new iPad air and also own an iPhone 5. I'm receiving most of my text messages on the iPhone, but some but not all are also showing up on my iPad. I don't want them on my iPad, any suggestions on how to get them to stop showing up n my iPad?

TS3899 I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What should I do to correct this issue?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

HT4623 I recently switched from an original ipad to the ipad air. Now when people text me, the messages go to my cell phone and to the new ipad. I don't want my text messages going to both devices. How can I change this?

Is there a way to stop receiving my text messages on both of my devices? I have an ipad air and an iphone. People text my phone number and it goes to my phone and the ipad, but this only started happening when I upgraded from the original ipad to the ipad air.

If you do not want the text messages to go to the iPad (that is what I assume from your post) go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your iPhone number in there. Do this on the iPad.
You can always just turn messages off as well in Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off.

HT4641 How do you copy and paste text from a website to a pages document please. I could do this on my old ipad but not with ipad air thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.

HT203977 My new IPad Air 2 will not let me send text messages to non Apple devices. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have a brand new IPad Air 2. My operating system is 8.2. I am not able to send iMessages (texts) to non Apple devices. When I attempt to, the name is in red not green. What can I do to fix this?

An iPad is not capable of natively sending an SMS or MMS messages. Those services require a cellular voice channel connection, and a data tablet is only capable of a cellular data channel connection, not a voice channel connection.
If you have an iPhone, under the settings on the iPhone you can enable forwarding with your iPad - where the iPhone actually sends and receives the SMS texts and shares them with your iPad.
Otherwise, you will need to use an app and internet service like the telegram messaging app. Or you can send emails to the persons cell phone via their carriers texting gateway (e.g. [email protected] if they use AT&T in the USA).
iMessages between iOS apps are separate from SMS texts as iMessages use Apples internet service and equipment. But the SMS protocol crams a short text message into the residual bandwidth of a cellular phones voice channel and cannot be sent over a cellular data connection.

IOS8 iPad Air (A7) Safari Auto-fill slows text entry down

iPad Air (A7)
iOS8
64GB
I am entering text into the following site (renew a subscription): http://oracle-sub.halldata.com/site/ORA000401OCrenew/init.do?{removed http query params}
Safari auto text is severely slowing text entry (the suggested text at the bottom of the screen is cool, but seems to cause a drag)
Aside from turning this nifty feature off, iOS8 safari seems it needs to be tuned to work properly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

On my Macbook Pro I am able to select colours for text. How do I select colours (like blue etc) when typing mail on my iPad Air 32GB wifi cellular?

How do I select different colour text on my iPad Air?

You cannot change the color of text in Mail on an iOS device. You can only do Bold, Italics and Underline.

I can no longer speak and woud like to use my Ipad Air 2 WiFi Cellular to serve as a texting device to replace my phone. Will using my cell number and Talkatone allow me to text and receive text as I do on my phone?

A laryngectomy has left me unable to speak over my cell. I still need to communicate via text and would like to use one device. I have an Ipad Air 2 WiFi + Cellular that I use to write messages on and would like to know if adding the ap Talkatone and using my cell number will allow me to use my Ipad as my one communication device and not have to carry my phone any more.

hedrickwireless1,
I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your voice. I know how important it is still be able to communicate. I apologize as the application Talkatone is a third party application we would not be able to provide details into how the application functions. Please reach out to the app developer for details regarding the application. You can access the developer information under the application details in iTunes.
