I frequently use the microphone feature on the on-screen keyboard, but cannot seem to find a way to activate it through the new Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, any suggestions?

iPad, iOS 9.2.1, IPad Pro Smart Keyboard

I do know a wireless Bluetooth keyboard does not offer the microphone when used with an iPad.

I'm not positive this applies to the Smart Keyboard, but I suspect it does.

No, your answer doesn't apply to the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard ... It is not wireless, it was built specifically for -- and plugs-in directly to -- the iPad Pro.

Thanks for your reply though!

I am sorry to tell you that Apple has absolutely ignored this problem and I just heard Tim talk about 9.3 and I don't believe we have a solution. It's not only insulting it is borderline crazy that Apple doesn't allude to it.
