Q: How do I trigger dictation from the smart keyboard on the iPad pro.

I use dictation on my iPhone and on my iPad quite often.

However on my new iPad Pro  with the smart keyboard attached, I don't see how to trigger dictation from the keyboard.

I don't see how to get the soft keyboard back to press the microphone button are there, space as suggested by some on this forum.

That doesn't seem to be working in the latest update of iOS 9.

I would be fine with either a keyboard shortcut,  or having to invoke the shop keyboard and press the microphone button, but I don't see how to do either.

When pressing the Emoji button on the smart keypad strike that keyboard, space the emoji soft keyboard will be shown,  Space but when I press the capital ABC soft but I cannot get to the normal keyboard with the microphone button.

 

One potential alternative solution would be to use Siri to trigger dictation within save a note or another application, space but I have not figured out how to make that work either.

 

Has anyone run into this problem, and found a solution?
