I frequently use the microphone feature on the on-screen keyboard, but cannot seem to find a way to activate it through the new Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, any suggestions?
iPad, iOS 9.2.1, IPad Pro Smart Keyboard
I do know a wireless Bluetooth keyboard does not offer the microphone when used with an iPad.

I'm not positive this applies to the Smart Keyboard, but I suspect it does.
No, your answer doesn't apply to the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard ... It is not wireless, it was built specifically for -- and plugs-in directly to -- the iPad Pro.
Thanks for your reply though!
I am sorry to tell you that Apple has absolutely ignored this problem and I just heard Tim talk about 9.3 and I don't believe we have a solution. It's not only insulting it is borderline crazy that Apple doesn't allude to it.
While I do not know if this applies to the Apple smart keyboard, I use the Logitech Create keyboard which also connects via the smart connector and have run into this problem, as well. I found a solution (or more of a workaround) after a little web searching. On the Logitech case there is a button that will bring up the on-screen keyboard. Once you do this you can simply press on the microphone icon on the on-screen keyboard and begin dictation. As I do not own the Apple Smart keyboard, I'm not sure if it has a key dedicated to invoking the on-screen keyboard. If it doesn't, try pressing function-3. If I recall correctly, This should bring up the on-screen keyboard.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
