Q: Help Siri and keyboard can't hear me

I've read several discussions on this problem.  This is what I've found:  I did a reset to the settings, which someone recommended.  This shuts Siri off.  The Voice Control can hear me.  Once I turn Siri back on, I can not be heard.  Shut it off, Voice Control hears me....

 

I've done everything short of a system restore.

 

I also have an ipad and Siri works with no problems.

 

Can anyone help? 

 

Maybe I'll have to head to a genius bar.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.2

    Still not working.... The other thing I noticed is speaker phone doesn't hear me either. I was thinking hardware issue but the voice control hears me.

    Ok i actually just fixed mine lol. Go to settings.general.siri. Turn siri off click disable or whatever message pops up. Then double tap the home button and close settings. Reopen settings.general.siri. Turn it back on. Then hold the home button and activate siri while in the siri settings. Let me know if it worked for you. It worked for me i swear.

    It is a bug. If you go to settings> general> siri and enable "Raise to Speak" Siri will listen to you when you hold the iPhone to your ear even though in the cases of those who are affected by this problem, it repeatedly fails when you just hold the the home button to speak to siri as was normal in iOS 6.

    Exact same issue here.  What's horrible is I cannot use Siri on the keypad to dictate which I use everyday. 

    Lift to ear Siri works. 

    Earbud Siri work.

    Bluetooth Siri works. 

    Home button Siri ---> zilch

    same is happening to me,

    i tried all possible stuff

    soft and hard reset, etc... what i've found in my case is that it is definitely a bug, cause when i turn off siri

    voice controls responds but if i try to write a note dictating or ask something to siri does not hear me, however

    if i raise the phone it works fine.

     

    im using the latest version 7.0.4 and issue is quite recent, so i think that is something wrong with certain iphones that does not work

     

    my specs

    iphone 5 16 GB

    IOS 7.0.4

     

    hope it helps

    I have had this problem the last few days.   Very frustrating.

     

    Executive summary: In brief, it was a hardware problem: I went to apple store, they check and as I was under the 1 year warranty they replaced my iphone 5.

     

    Details:

    Symptoms were strange and same as above:  Siri and dictation did not work on the phone itself but did work with headphones.  It appeared that neither Siri & dictation could not hear me (the wavy line did not move).  The speakerphone also didn't work in that people could not hear me.  However, Siri raise to speak worked, voice recording worked, etc.  It seemed so bizarre that it could only be a software bug.  But not.

     

    Solution: I went to the apple store.  They took the phone and checked it out.  There was a hardware problem with one of the microphones.  There is more than one microphone!  One was broken.

    There is the microphone on the bottom next to the speaker that makes sounds.  This is the regular microphone one talks into.  Then there is another microphone, a tiny one, on the back next to the camera.  Apparently this one is for videos.  Now most applicaitons just use the regular microphone but some applications use both.  And Siri and dictation use both.  And the little one was broken.  Hardware problem.  Phone was replaced.

     

    Moral of the story:  maybe it could be a software problem, but it can be hardware.

    Did you have a very low call volume also? Because I'm having the exact same issue, but in addition to that, I can barely hear the other person on the phone when I'm in the middle of a call.

    In my case it turned out to be a hardware problem. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the phone.
