Dictation not working on iPhone 7 plus

Voice dictation stopped working a couple days ago. I turned off dictation restarted phone and turned back on, this did not help. Dictation works with Bluetooth device just fine. Voice memos work but audio for videos does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated

If the other person is not able to listen to you then please click this--> If the microphones on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch aren't ...


On iPhone 6s or later, and iPad, you can use dictation without being connected to the Internet. Earlier models of iPhone and iPad require an Internet connection.


Not all languages are supported by offline dictation.




Dictate text

  • To enter text, tap the microphone button  on your keyboard, then start speaking. As you speak, the text appears on the screen. To finish, stop speaking, then tap the keyboard button .
  • If dictation isn’t sure what word it heard, you'll see a blue line under the transcribed word so you can check it for accuracy. To make corrections, tap the underlined word, then select the correct spelling. To replace a word, double-tap it, tap the microphone button , then say it again, and tap the keyboard button 
  • To replace a section, select what you want to replace, then tap the microphone button  and speak again. To add more text, tap where you want to add new text, tap the microphone button , then speak again.
  • To change the language that dictation uses, long press the microphone button , then select the language you want to use.
