Q: When I bought my iPad there was a feature that allowed me to voice record reminders. What happened to this feature. With all the updates, it is now gone.

When I bought my ipad 2 a few years ago there was a feature so that I could record reminders. But with all the updates, this feature is now gone. What happened to it? Also, on my iphone and imac, I can dictate and it types for me. I thought I had this feature on the ipad too, but can't find it. Does it not exist for the ipad 2 or do I have to download an app?

If you mean yhe Voice Memo app that is on iPhones then that hasn't been included on iOS for iPads, and Siri is also not supported on the iPad 2 - it doesn't have the noise cancellation hardware within it

Now I remember. I used to use my iPod and the voice memos. I was then able to e-mail the messages, because I did not have an iPhone. It was not on my iPad 2.

Is there a dictation app that works with pages on the iPad 2?

Can I use dictation on my iMac without Internet service?

Your Mac will need internet connection : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5449

For your iPad there is Dragon Dictation which might work (I haven't tried it)
