When I tap the microphone icon to dictate anything into my phone, the tone it makes to let you know that it is taking your dication is very very low. The same when I tap the "done" button at the end of dictating. The volume of the tone is so low, that I cannot tell when dication recognition has started or stopped.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
Hello there, new iphone 5s.
The following link from the iPhone User Guide provides some useful steps for increasing the volume setting on your iOS device:

Volume controls
When you’re on the phone or listening to songs, movies, or other media, the buttons on the side of iPhone adjust the audio volume. Otherwise, the buttons control the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.
WARNING: For important information about avoiding hearing loss, see Important safety information.
Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds and turn off “Change with Buttons.” To limit the volume for music and videos, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
Note: In some European Union (EU) countries, iPhone may warn that you’re setting the volume above the EU recommended level for hearing safety. To increase the volume beyond this level, you may need to briefly release the volume control. To limit the maximum headset volume to this level, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit and turn on EU Volume Limit. To prevent changes to the volume limit, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
You can also use either volume button to take a picture or record a video. See Take photos and videos.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
The discussion below has the full solution: use the volume controls after first pressing the microphone.
