Dictation in iOS 7 barely works

I guess it's possible that this is another Apple-Server issue, but it seems way worse than it ever has been in the past.


I would say that about 80% of the time that I use dictation, the wheel just spins and spins...and then times-out


If I keep trying to get it to work, it eventually will....for a little while...and then it will fail again.


Apple, can you tell me what is going on and how it can be fixed?


Thanks so much...

Well, after updating to iOS 7.0.4 today, dictation is barely working again! It was working so well for the last few weeks, but for some reason, it seems this new update has messed it up again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can this be reported to Apple somehow so maybe it can be fixed without having to wait as long as we had to wait last time?
