        I actually found the answer to this myself.

    You must turn off your  Bluetooth keyboard in order for this to work.

        You will then notice a microphone icon on the bottom left of the screen keyboard, and if you click on it, you may speak your text. 

        I believe this works on anything that excepts text, but I'm not sure.

     

    I am very new to this and I don't know which programs this will work.

     

    I did create this text with the voice recognition software already on my iPad3.

     

    I love this feature because I have arthritis and it hurts to type.
