“Period” versus “.” in Message.

Siri auto-dictation won't insert a period in Message. It spells it out. Other punctuation works fine.


If I use auto-dictation to speak directly to Siri, a period will be inserted appropriately. In any other format, Siri spells out the word rather than inserting a period.

Getting a Period in a Sentence:

Do you use a UK English keyboard? If so, say "full stop" to get a ".". Try it whether you do or don't. Report back if that works. Source: Siri won't take the "period" dictation command - Apple Community
