iOS 16 voice to text error - I have a new iPhone 14 Pro Max and cannot get voice to text to work at all. I push the microphone button and it makes a noise but it doesn’t record your speech to text at all. I’ve tried disabling and re enabling it to no avail. Help!
Hi WildaS,
It sounds like you're having some trouble using Dictation and we want to help.
Let's try going to settings and turning Dictation off and back on again.
You'll find the option in Settings > General > Keyboard.
Here's a guide on using Dictation that should give you information on what you'll see.
Is that what you did when you said disabled and re-enabled?
Make sure you've updated to the latest iOS 16.0.2:
Contact Apple Support if this continues:
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Hey WildaS,
To verify, have you tested this in more than one app? If not, do that to further isolate the issue. Also, does your Mic work at all? Can people hear you on calls? Can you use Voice Memos without issue? This can help you determine if the mics are affected.
Regards.
I can use the microphone because Siri works fine and she wakes up my phone when I say “Hey Siri”. Also the speakerphone works just fine. For whatever reason whenever I try to have the phone dictate anything it doesn’t work. I haven’t changed any settings that would affect this function. I’m stumped.
Hello,
Yes, I’ve turned dictation on and off with no success. I’ve also done that and restarted the phone with no success. I’m wondering if this is a defective phone?
WildaS,
Thanks for providing that info. At this time, we'd recommend that you connect with Apple at Apple Support for additional assistance regarding this matter.
Take care.
