Microphone is turned on in settings under keyboard dictation but when I go into messages and hit the microphone, talk to text is not working and this icon appears. A small microphone with and x. How do I fix this?

Thanks for reaching out Kbee7,
That microphone icon is expected to be displayed after tapping the Dictation icon, as illustrated in the following article: Dictate text on iPhone:
Dictate text
1. Tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text.
2. Tapon the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak.
3. If you don’t see> General > Keyboard.
As you speak to insert text, iPhone automatically inserts punctuation for you. You can insert emoji by saying their names (for example, “mind blown emoji” or “happy emoji”).
Note: You can turn this setting off by going to Settings
4. When you finish, tap.
If Dictation is not responding and including the text that you speak as expected, then reach out to Apple Support directly, as they're best equipped to assist with the behavior being described.

Kind regards.
Mine is doing the same thing!! Nothing is working to fix it. I’m so IRRITATED
Same thing happened to me today, I just updated and ran into the same problem. I turned dictation off and back on in the settings and still had no luck.
What fixed it for me was turning my phone off and turning it back on. Try restarting your phone and hopefully it works like it did for me!
mine is doing the same… did u get it fixed? thanks
No, it is still not working.
update, just released, and I have my talk to text back. You might try the update for yourselves. I hope it works.
I just updated and that’s when the issue started I wish I knew why.
