After 3 years on Apple (sorry, but came with job), I was incredibly keen to return to BB, after being with them for several years prior. My last was a 9900 - so a big step up!

The Key one seemed all I wished for, thus keenly purchased and have been the proud owner for several days.
Its recognition of my speech is so much better than Apple ever was, as yet I have needed to make only a handful of corrections, in a bunch load of emails, so very impressive indeed.
BUT I do have to keep removing the 'New line', 'comma' and 'full stop' actual words, that are not recognised as commands for punctuation.
Sometimes it will obey the request, but mostly not.
I have searched for the punctuation advise online and it appears I am pronouncing it correctly, obviously trying several different voice speeds and habits etc, also adjusting the speech sliders in settings, but no luck at all in obtaining a reliable response.

For the record, I type from the physical keyboard quite intensely, as that is what the phone is all about and one reason I bought it, but sometimes after a bagful of mails, I just need to be lazy and rely on the speech facility.
Any ideas please, so near but so far away!

Sad but in today's Virtual Assistants are very poorly featured and working.

Someday computers will follow voice commands 100% well but I'll be dead by then it seems.

If you want a period at the end of a sentence just pause (take a breath) then say Period. I just composed and sent and
email to my wife. Not bad.

Thank you, will give it a try out

If you want a period at the end of a sentence just pause (take a breath) then say Period.

As explained here:

You can use these phrases to add punctuation to your text:

• Period
• Comma
• Exclamation point
• Question mark
• New line
• New paragraph

Note: Punctuation works in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Russian.

Just make sure there is a slight pause between the last word and the spoken punctuation or else it will type the punctuation word in the message..

I just upgraded from a passport to a keyone. I found the microphone to do voice dictation but it doesn't recognize when I say "period" or "comma," -- it doesn't add the punctuation or the words. It just skips them so my transcription looks like a run-on sentence... and the dictation isn't nearly as accurate as it was on the passport. I was reluctant to switch from passport to keyone because I loved BB10, but I figured I would be gaining different functionality that I have on my android tablet. I'm guessing it's probably just a setting I need to adjust, but I'm lost as to how to fix it. Please help!!
