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.

Disable your VPN:

Have a VPN enabled? If so, disable it. There is likely a connectivity error somewhere about. VPNs just get in the way on an Apple device, and this is a pure example of how and why.
