Thanks for the reply. I obviously did not describe the issue clearly. With my texting app open, I was having a conversation with someone in the same room, and the iPhone transcribed my speech into a text message without my direction. I am now thinking I should simply turn off "enable dictation" under Keyboard settings.

If you mean it is saying what you are typing, that is a feature for vision-impaired users called Voiceover. Hold the SIDE button and say “turn off voiceover”.
Most likely you tapped on the microphone icon in the message app:
I have never noticed that dictation icon before now. Thank you for solving the mystery.
