mic with an x

I cannot voice dictate and I get a mic symbol with an x on it when I press the mic icon on imessage. Cannot voice dictate in other places such as in notes or to do a browser search. My mic does work because people can hear me on a call.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Ok so I did the following and it fixed my issue.

I deleted “Siri and dictation history” and then re-recorded my voice to enable Siri to recognize it and that seems to have done the trick. I can now voice text in iMessage, Notes, into a browser like Google, etc.

Some users find that having Full Keyboard Access turned on messes up the behavior of certain keys, especially the space bar, in certain apps. So if this happens to you, that is the reason.
