    Dictation problems

    Hi...is anyone else having problems with the dictation function not working on the new iPad? It worked okay when I first tested it but have been unable to get it to work again since. Apple support suggested a complete restore, but I thought I'd check on here first before resorting to that. Any chance it could be a problem with the remote server(s)?

    Mine works fine, could be a

    server overload at any given moment. Ditto with SIRI.

    Even more confused now...have returned home after work to find that dictation works fine from my home wi-fi, but not the one at work. I have had no Internet access issues at work - can go online etc, so don't know what that's all about!

    My guess....firewall issue at work impacting dictation from interfacing with apple servers.
    Background apps are hiding for good reason. Seek them out, close them. The world will be a better place.
