Question about iPhone Keyboard Shortcuts

iOS and iPadOS

Am using iOS 8.1, but this problem also occurred using iOS7. Shortcuts operate as expected in edit fields when using a bluetooth keyboard and following the shortcut abbreviation with a space. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get keyboard shortcuts to work when dictating the shortcut or when typing the shortcut on the iPhone's default soft keyboard. This has been a problem with both my iPhone 5 and 6. Any suggestions? Would one of the tesxt expander appps work better? Any recommendations are appreciated.
