Add microphone to iPad 2

I’m trying to add a microphone to the keyboard on an old iPad 2 but in the Keyboard menu there’s no option for Auto Dictation. Can I add a microphone or not?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

There is no voice dictation feature on such an old iPad, NOR Siri voice assistant.

The microphone used in this over 10-year, 2011 iPad generation does NOT have any noise cancelling technology in it that is needed for voice and/OR Siri dictation and Siri Assistant features.



Sorry.
