Hi erikfromkirkland,


Have you tried restarting your device to see if the issue persists? This can sometimes clear up minor software issues. You'll also want to make sure that the feature isn't disabled:


"If you don’t see the Dictate key, make sure Dictation is turned on. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard, then turn on Enable Dictation."


You can take a look at the full resource here: Dictate text on iPhone - Apple Support


If you continue to experience the issue you can reach out for additional support here: Get Support


Take care.
