I suspect it is due to keyboard settings. Look in Settings > General > Keyboards and see if Enable Dictation is enabled. If it is, this is likely the cause. Now, if it isn't go into Settings > Duolingo and see if a setting therein is checked that might be the cause.


Additionally, there maybe a microphone to text feature enabled in Duolingo, as per this Duolingo forums suggestion:

A separate forum entry suggest much that I have noted before:


Go into Settings > General > Keyboard and disable Enable Dictation; then in Duolingo, check for a way in the settings for it to uncheck the language you're learning.


The link where I am gleaning this from is: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/52480595/Speech-recognition-broken-in-iOS-15


"I solved the problem on my iPhone 12 running iOS 15. Hope it will help. Step: 1. Settings 2. General 3. Keyboard 4. Enable dictation (Turn on Enable Dictation - Green color) 5. Dictation languages => check v (tick v) the languages you are learning). 6. Reopen Duolingo Hope it will help."
