How many of you use the mike when texting.

I am using it more than ever. I may have to correct but lately I have been more careful about enunciating words. Of course I do not use it in public.

I like to use it when it works. Half the time it doesn't. Much faster than fingers.

I use it as I'm not good texting with the fingers.

I must have a mouthful of 'Pittsburghese' marbles. It can never figure out what I'm saying. Do yinz know what I mean?

Siri can be very bad at times. I really have to read over her message before I hit send.

I only use it when I am Googling, and it doesn't always know what I'm saying so I wouldn't try it for sentences.

I have fairly good luck. I can correct the few words that may have been misunderstood. And I just hate to use the abbreviations. I am old school.

I'm using it right now for this message. For some reason I always forget about using it. LOL...I had to correct two missed words but I do have music on in the background.

I use it all the time. I just wish it was a wee bit more accurate.

I use it all of the time and love it. I have learned that I need to over-pronounce words but that is ok. At least it does not have my Southern accent LOL.

Voice activated texting.

I use it about 50% of the time. You have to speak ever so clearly and carefully and make sure you check it prior to sending! Some of my voice texts mistakes are hilarious!

You can do this on the new fancy cell phones that are all the craze now? You can talk to the phone and it types what you speak? WHAT? I have never heard such a thing. I gotta crawl out from my deep dark rabbit hole once in awhile. Tech savvy I am not. My phone has a slide out bottom with what looks like a mini typewriter. I'm guessing my cell is a relic from many days gone by..........
