How to activate dicatation mode with the Magic Keyboard attached to iPadPro ?

Does anyone have a solution for activating dictation when using the Apple Magic keyboard with an iPadPro ? The arrow down button on the bottom right corner of the screen does not pop up the screen keyboard (with microphone icon) reliably.

How do you invoke dictation on the new Magic Keyboard for iPad? I have a new 2020 iPad Pro as well as the new Magic Keyboard. How do you invoke the dictation feature while the iPad is attached to the keyboard? The only way I’ve found to do this is to remove the iPad from the keyboard. This is not very convenient. it’s also very expensive keyboard.

Can't use dictation with smart keyboard Recently bought an Ipad Pro along with a smart keyboard folio, only to discover that I can no longer use voice dictation on messages or apps like Duolingo without removing the keyboard. So frustrating and inconvenient!! Apple needs to add this feature!

Hello,

Apple has announced that this feature will be included in the iPadOS 14 release this fall.
