DICTATION


Dictation

I have an iPhone 12 and an iPad Pro 12.9.


somehow enable dictation has suddenly started in my iPad and I can’t turn it off, as Enablr Dictation does not appear in settings.


it’s frustrating me, as being legally blond, I have sent messages that have been dictated through my voice even though I didn’t type anything.


How do I turn dictation off?

Thank you.


I can only make three suggestions:


  1. Check if you can update your iPadOS as 15.2.1 was just released yesterday: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204204
  2. Force restart your iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/ipad/ipad9955c007/ipados, and
  3. Contact Apple Support.

I’ve found the problem. It was “Voice Control”.


I went to setting and entered “Microphone” - and it told me to try Voice Control, which I found turned on.


so I turned it off and now the problem is gone.


thanks for your input anyway.


cheers

Hi Doug1941, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


I wonder if you might go to Settings > General > Keyboards and see if 'Enable Dictation' is turned on.


The following link may also help as it explains more about Dictation:
