Dictation and text replacement

Is there a way to dictate to your iPhone your text replacement shortcut for the iPhone to insert the phrase? I would like to be able to dictate some note but be able to say a short cut and have it replace with common phrases that I use. Is this possible?


iPhone 5, iOS 10

Hi BrittanyAnn1011,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you'd like to dictate notes into your iPhone using some of the text replacements you've created. We'd like to help answer this question for you.


While you're not able to dictate the short cuts you've created, you can "Add punctuation or format text" when you Dictate text on iPhone


Leaving Product Feedback about this would be a good next step.


Take care.
