Keyboard dictation stopped working on my iPhone 8 Plus

In four apps, Message, Notes, Messenger and Dictionary, the keyboard dictation stopped working. However, the mic works in Dictionary at the top of the screen, plus Siri responds so the mic works. I've oerformed all the suggested steps in the previous community threads i.e. confirm dictation is on, toggled it off/on, power cycle phone. 8 Plus ios is 16.7.10. Do I have a motherboard issue?

Thank you for your response. At first after reading the suggestions on your link, I almost dismissed them because they didn't seem applicable since I new the mic worked when speaking to Siri, but I opened voice memos per the directions and it worked. It then started working in Message (where I use it the most). You're my Hero! Thank you once again.
