iPhone voice to text not working

For German this solution also worked. I switched to Austria. The ones that do not work appear to be attempting to use a different dictation engine with a little blue microphone.

I posted what I thought was a fix (go to enable dictation and turn it off and then back on) but I found that this only works for about 5 minutes and then it shuts off again. Question: do your share a phone plan with someone else? I ask because sometimes my daughter will do something to her phone and it links to my phone. Which is super fun when all of a sudden I get her texts!!! lol. but if she does something to her settings it may reset to mine. I know that sounds nuts but the struggle is real!

I’m having the exact same problem. I get a blue microphone but no text ever appears. The only way I can voice to text is through Hey Siri!

I’m having the same issue. Voice text has stopped working, any commands to Siri asking to call someone fail, and any dictation fails. I’ve confined the setting (Settings > General > keyboards > enable dictations) is enabled

I have tried ALL of the suggestions from Apple, YouTube, etc. My microphone works everywhere EXCEPT to voice text in text messages and email. There HAS TO BE A PROBLEM. And I can see that others are having same problem during same time period. That suggests a problem overall for iphone 11 (I am on iOS 16.0).

I am having the same issue but its

also not working in discord either. Screentime is disabled and was working with within the last 30 days. I verified settings as already referenced prior to this post.

Yea mine stopped working a few days ago on my 12. Everything is on it just doesn’t work on any apps for me. Siri works though.

A microphone is showing up with an ‘x’ and mic in lower right goes shaded and it does not work when in imessage

I'm having the same issue with my new iphone13 mini. Voice to text not working (has the 'x' over the microphone) and "hey siri" also not working. Following here...

I am only having issues in my text messaging app. Voice to text works in all other apps. I have followed instructions provided and made sure software was up to date. I have Iphone XR.

Voice to text is completely broken for me after the recent update. I rely on this every day as typing is hard on my hands! Fix this now! I have iPhone XR with iOS 16.0 20A362.

Agreed. Mine is broken too. It’s awful. Tried all the recommended fixes and no luck.

@AlexV1288 At least three people posted fixes that worked for them in this thread. Go back and read the thread. :)

Suddenly there is no option to send voice texts in the messaging interface. The user-interface has changed. The microphone icons available only function in dictation mode.

*begin rant*

It's getting old dealing with large companies like Apple iOS and Google Chrome, Windows OS. Always making dramatic changes to core user interfaces and altering fundamental tasks. In there attempts to make life easier, make it more complicated. Can I get an amen?
