Update Bug:

If it works, but stops working afterwards, then there is a bug. Dictation is not made to be a scheduled. Apps, however, can be scheduled through use of Screen Time.

Disable Screen Time:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Turn Off Screen Time(so that it is greyed-out)
