Q: Speech to Text Issues

Just recently upgraded to the iphone 7 and when the iphone is connected to power, the speech to text feature does not work.  Is there a problem or something I should be doing different?

iPhone 7, iOS 10

    Hi sciphone7fan,

    I see from your post that you aren't able to use Dictation in Messages while your iPhone 7 is connected to power. I'd like to help you get this working again.

    As a first step, I'd recommend that you restart your iPhone using the instructions found here:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    After you've restarted, follow these steps to ensure Dictation is enabled on your device:

    You can dictate instead of typing. Make sure Enable Dictation is turned on (in Settings > General > Keyboard) and iPhone is connected to the Internet.

    Note: Dictation may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary. Cellular data charges may apply. See Cellular data settings.

    Dictate - iPhone

    Cheers!
