How can I speak to type in text messages??

Hey Slugpuppy3,

That's a great question! You can use Dictate to text using your voice on the iPhone. Here's how:

Dictate text on iPhone

Turn on Dictation

1. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard.

2. Turn on Enable Dictation.

Dictate text

1. Tap to place the insertion point where you want to insert text.

2. Tap  on the onscreen keyboard or in any text field where it appears (as in Messages, for example). Then speak.

If you don’t see , make sure Dictation is turned on. Go to Settings  > General > Keyboard, then turn on Enable Dictation.

As you speak to insert text, iPhone automatically inserts punctuation for you.

Note: You can turn off automatic punctuation by going to Settings  > General > Keyboard, then turning off Auto-Punctuation.

As you dictate text, you can insert emoji by saying their names (for example, “mind blown emoji” or “happy emoji”).

3. When you finish, tap .

We hope this helps!

Best regards.
