I create a siri shortcut and add a dictate text function into it.
When I debug it, it runs perfectly, but when I run it in real conditions using Siri, it asks me "What value for the parameter String answer should I set?" That sounds very weird, as now I left only Dictate text command in the Siri shortcut to localize the bug. And it seems the bug is produced by the command Dictate text itself. I use iOs 14.1
Please help.
Thank you

Hello nparfenukoff,
We see that you need help with Shortcuts.
It looks like you have an update available for your iPhone. Go ahead and update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS and see if that resolves the issue. Update iOS on iPhone.
Cheers!
Thank you for the response. I updated to 15.1 this night.
When I put dictate text function into my SHortcuts procedure and run it using Siri, it asks each time when I run it: "Enter text"
But I see from examples of people doing it over the internet it says nothing, it just listens to the text.
I try to set a dialog between my iphone and a user. The user knows that now he has to tell his height, I run Dictate text procedure and instead of just listening it and recognizing it and passing further the result, it asks: Enter the text. How can I resolve it?
Thank you
Faithfully yours,
Nick
nparfenukoff,
Without knowing the exact actions you've added to the shortcut it may be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. When we create a shortcut and add only the Dictate Text action it opens a window that's listening for input when it's ran. Do you have any additional actions like Ask For Input added?
Thanks.
Thank you sir for the quick respond. To localize the problem, I created a Siri shortcut that contains the only command: Dictate text. When I run it via debugging using the play style button, everything works perfectly. But when I run it using Siri(as it is mean to be), it says: Enter the text (in my system language). And it is not what I see in examples from youtube, where Dictate text command just accepts my voice without any commands from its side (https://youtu.be/whKwkZHf5cU?t=451)
Please help me to resolve this problem.
Thank you
