iPhone dictation problem

When I click on the microphone to dictate, I receive this small mic icon with an x on it, and it won’t work. I’ve done all of the steps I could find online for resetting everything (short of a factory reset).

Speech to Text Dictation issue Since upgrading my iPhone 13 to iOS 16.0.2, I’m having a problem with speech to text dictation in ALL apps. I get this icon (pictured) that suggests the mic is off. But I know the mic is working (all is good when recording a Voice Memo and taking on the phone, etc.) but for the life of me cannot figure out why the device thinks the mic is turned off, or how to turn it on. I’ve tried settings>privacy>microphone but to no avail. Any suggestions much appreciated.

iPhone X Dictation issue My dictation mysteriously stopped working on my iPhone X, and I cannot figure out why. I have run through all the suggested fixes except a factory reset to solve the problem. My microphone works. I can record memos and use the microphone when I make phone calls, but I cannot dictate a text message or do a search. I keep getting a small microphone icon right at the dialogue box showing the microphone disabled. I imagine I have done something to unknowingly turn it off. Any ideas out in Applelqnd?

I did the factory restore. It worked but when I dictate to text I get the same symbol.
