ipad dictation stops working, often

yes, I know doing a restart will make the microphone work again, I see tons of posts about that on various sites


but isn’t there a faster way?


having to restart the iPad several times a day….


does not make me want to purchase more Apple


and, NEVER A PROBLEM WITH YEARS OF SMARTPHONES

from my old “iPhone 4”, BEST DICTATION MACHINE EVER


unlike the new glitchy dictation with updates

Someday I’ll compile a list of all the “not true” I have been told about why iPhone dictation does the things that it does, and it decidedly does pull names and spelling from my phonebook substituting SAFE fir safe, FAIRE for fair or fare


it’s an iPad issue, right?

The majority of complaints I see, the complaints are about iPhone dictation, microphone stops working


like the way iPad does weird things when I try to access pictures with my desk top


Sometimes I dream of all the free time I would have

If technology worked the way it was advertised


For those people who will say “where is the question in that”


Isn’t there a faster way of getting the iPad microphone active again


Other than having to stop and restart the device







iPad, iPadOS 26
