Recently on my phone my talk to text is not working, I've checked the settings and everything is the way it should be. When I push the text to talk the microphone comes up but does nothing when I talk to text. How do I fix this?
iPhone 11
Hi Lildesray,
When you checked settings, did you use these steps?
Turn on Dictation
1. Go to Settings> General > Keyboard.
2. Turn on Enable Dictation.
Then, follow these steps when in Messages app?
Dictate text
1. Tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text.
2. Tapon the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak.
If you don’t see
As you speak to insert text, iPhone automatically inserts punctuation for you. You can insert emoji by saying their names (for example, “mind blown emoji” or “happy emoji”).
Note: You can turn this setting off by going to Settings
3. When you finish, tap.

Have you tried restarting the device? Sometimes that can clear up minor software issues. Also, we recommend making sure you have the most recent iOS update on your device. This makes sure you have the latest features and bug fixes. You can learn how to update here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If the issue still persists you can reach out for additional support here: Get Support
Take care.
Could be dictation languages.
In my case, it was working in all apps except messages, spinning blue wheel always timed out. I tried all things except a full iPhone reset, no luck!
However, I noticed that the “Languages” option was being displayed in the message app, so I went to settings>general>keyboard>dictation languages and turned off all but “English” and presto, voice to text is working in message app again.
all My microphone settings are correct, but still cannot access apps that want to use the microphone for dictation. iOS 16 is comfortably the worst update ever!
I am having the same issue. I have an Iphone 12 Pro. Siri longer can access anything either.
Thanks. But I have done all these things. It is a software issue and a lack of proper testing. Right to left planning and shoddy coding.
I ended up having to take it to a apple tech and they had to remove the software and then put it back on. It has now been fixed
Same problem. I’ve checked all the settings. Turned them in and off and restarted my phone to no avail. HELP
Why is my talk to text no longer working?
