Microphone won’t turn off on my iPad Pro (M4)

I’ve tried disabling it in every app, but unless I’m typing in a silent room, every word it hears is transcribed like it’s taking dictation. It’s impossible to type a coherent sentence, rendering this iPad nearly useless.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

You appear to have the Dictation feature enabled. From iPad settings:

Settings > General > Keyboard > [Dictation] Enable Dictation - set to OFF
