Hi Guys,

OKAY - I thought I'd make a thread explaining some of the commands or gestures that Siri can do. Be it, US, Aus, or UK.
for example - Full Stop [UK]. Period [US] etc.


A new one which I've just found out, say "Open Bracket" and "Closed Bracket", they work fine!
Does anybody else have any new ones? Caps Lock? Hashtags?
 
I searched all over to find more information on commands to use in dictation with Siri... this article mentions some that work in Dragon Dictation, and most of them also seem to work in Siri.

So, I wrote a blog post listing all of the commands I've found so far.

"new line" and "new paragraph" are probably the most important ones to know, but there are many others, including a lot of special characters.

(maybe this is covered in some Apple documentation somewhere and I've just missed it?)
