Voice to Text and Siri stop working

My voice to text and Siri randomly stops working. Once I restart my phone, it resets. But how do I get it to stop turning off in the first place?

Hi. Also, just had that happen. Pretty annoying. I went onto the keyboard the scrolled down to diction and turned it off and back on. Then it started working again.

To ensure proper functionality, please verify which one of the following features are activated:



With VoiceOver—a gesture-based screen reader—you can use iPhone even if you can't see the screen. VoiceOver gives audible descriptions of what's on your screen—from battery level, to who's calling, to which app your finger is on. You can also adjust the speaking rate and pitch to suit your needs.
