Voice to text iPhone 5s

So after the update awhile back to iOS 8.1.2 my ipjone 5s hasn't had the microphone button on the keyboard to the left of the space button. How do I get it back? I have tryed turning Siri on and off. I have also tried a hard reset of power button and the home button at the same time. Honestly I just forgot about this for awhile but now I really want it. Help please?

In addition to ChrisJ4203's response, please note dictation is not available in all areas.

How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?

How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?

If you have Evernote, you could try quicktate. http://www.quicktate.com
I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
Open TextEdit on a new document
Enable Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
Press the fn-key twice
Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation. You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished.

TS2755 Iphone 4s voice to text messaging has stopped working. Any information on how to correct this?

Iphone 4s voice to text messaging suddenly stopped working. The little dots that appear while program is preparing to tranfer audio to text shake side to side and no text appear.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem
Depends on what the problem is.

Iphone 4s voice to text failure

SIRI is working. Voice to text for test messages and email is not. Purple dots spin and spin and then stop. I am AT+T. I see some evidence that others have this issue but no evidence yet that Apple is aware/addressing. Anyone know more?

Two things to consider:
1) Voice recognition occurs through Apple's servers and not in the iphone itself. There have been occasions, albeit rare, where everyone using the 4s experiences this lack of voice recognition problem. We have learned that in those instances where the problem is broad based it is because Apple is having a problem with their servers. The problem is not your phone! In the past, Apple has usually "solved" the server problem within several hours to a day.
2) If the problem is specific to your phone alone, one tip offered by Apple support is:
* bring up the shortcut screen (double click home button twice)
* hold the message icon button till it wiggles
* then tap the home screen again.
This procedure may reset the voice recognition. Support says that sometimes the iphone gets confused and needs a "nudge".
Hope this helps.

The microphone icon is not available- it's there but a pale grey. I could use it now to type this but not when texting. Siri is enabled and working fine.

What is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

what is the best voice to text paid app for iphone 5?

I use Dragon Dictation, but it is free. The microphone also works for dictating text in the Messages app, notes, email. With that, you just tap on the microphone key by the space bar.
Is this what you are looking for? Why does it have to be a paid app?

New voice to text feature glitch on iPhone 6?

So when you use the microphone button to send a voice text is it supposed to show up as a seperate text? For example under my messages I have my husband. If he voice texts me than a new message thread pops us under his name and the voice texts are seperated out.

Last week I have actually installed an app called "Dragon Dictation" free app that does voice to text and also work for voice to email. Its pretty accurate for the few times that I had a real need to use it. Check it out and see how you like it.

How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

How do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist, how do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist

I can get my voice memos from my iphone onto itunes on my Mac but when I sync my ipad, it doesn't sync. So I can only listen on my iphone using the voice memos app, which is very frustrating, since you cannot pause it and restart or gets interrupted when you get a call or on my computer. I would love to review some lectures I have taped on my ipad. Any way of doing this

What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
Can anyone help me on this? Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
Thanks, Joan

You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done.
No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
Best of luck.

Voice to text not working since iOS7

Is anyone else having issues since the update? My voice to text option isn't working at all. All I get after I speak is that blue spinning circle. I'm so frustrated. I use this all the time. Can't figure out how to fix it. Any advice? Thanks!

I got this information from an Apple Support tech and it fixed the problem.
1) Tap Settings > General > Restrictions to make sure no restrictions have been enabled.
2) Tap Settings > General > Siri and disable Siri. Then, press and hold both the top and front buttons for 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo. The iPhone should restart
3) Go back to Settings > General > Siri and re-enable it before testing.
4) Try voice to text and see if it's working. If it is, you're good to go. If not, go to Step 5.
5) Confirm that Siri is set to the language you speak most comfortably by tapping Settings > General > Siri > Language. If not, set it to the appropriate language and try voice to text again. If it works, great! If not, go to Step 6.
6) Tap Settings > General > Keyboards and make sure the keyboard you see listed there matches what we’ve got for Siri. Test again; if voice to text doesn't work, go to Step 7.
7) Reset your iPhone’s “General” Settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. This won’t remove any content, but will reload all Settings to default, including stuff like your wallpaper. Your iPhone should restart. Make sure Siri is enabled before testing again.

Siri and Voice to Text function not working

I have done every suggestion that has been listed on every website and from the Siri troubleshooting document. Nothing has worked so far. When I look at what has access to my microphone it doesn't list Siri and I cannot find where I can give it access. Siri and the Voice to Text function worked fine before the iOS7 update. I've made sure that Siri function is turned on, I've made sure there weren't any restrictions, I've turned the phone completely off, then I did the reset (on/off button and home button), I even went as far as doing a restore to the factory setting and then did the backup and it still does not work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! As much as we pay for these phones we shouldn't be having this many problems after doing the updates that Apple makes to FIX functionality. Updates are supposed to enhance our phones, not mess them up.
Thanks!

I fixed mine! Go in and reset settings in general settings at bottom. It's the top reset. After complete go turn on Siri, location, and find my iPhone. Let me know if it works for you
