Hello Smittyc2,


This feature can be disabled, but when you disable Dictation, it also disables Siri. So if you use 'Hey Siri', you may want to reconsider turning off the Dictation feature.


This is the link you will use to learn more about Dictation.


If you still decide to disable it, just go to Settings > General > Keyboard > turn off Enable Dictation.



Cheers!
