This seems dubious and I'd love to see a source for this claim.
- manmal 9y agoYes, I simply don’t buy that either. I try comparatively hard to use Siri, and I don’t think I write more than 5% via Siri. It doesn’t work that well even while driving.
- foz 9y agoI would guess that this statistic is about using the voice button on the keyboard, rather then commanding Siri "send a message to...". I've watched people that do this constantly, and perhaps they send more messages overall as a result of the behavior.
- kadal 9y agoFrom a single datapoint, senior citizens prefer speaking into the phone instead of typing out long messages.
- blowski 9y agoAnecdatally, it seems to be quite common in Brazil.
- raverbashing 9y agoComposed or merely sent as a voice message?
- alwillis 9y ago100% of iMessages are composed by voice on the Apple Watch, which may be weighting this figure somewhat.
- ramzyo 9y agoErr, huh? I use the scribble feature (not voice) on the Apple Watch to compose iMessages all the time.
- skinnymuch 9y agoI only use the writing feature on my watch. But I may be weird.
- kakarot 9y agoI transcript and I've found it's actually a good exercise. Plotting out a text and plotting out spoken dialogue require different mental gymnastics and it was actually pretty hard to dictate entire sentences without pause until I'd been using it for about two months.
- veidr 9y agoJudging by the error-riddled messages I receive, most of my correspondents using iPhones to send me email or text messages appear to be using this method of text input on their phones. As a result, I have become fluent in "dictato" much the same as I became fluent in reading typos in the 1980s when I first started using text chat a lot (on dial-up BBS systems).
