Sound disappears with dictation

I noticed this too at first. I think what is happening is there's a longer delay now between the time you issue the dictation command and the tone to start dictation. The tone does come though you just have to wait for it.

The previous poster has it right. There is a longer delay before the SIRI beep occurs to indicate that dictation is active.

ello,

That also happens to me from time to time, but on my iPhone 6 it happens randomly. I can just be swiping across the screen and sound quits. I sent a bug report to Apple, but I don't know how to reproduce it. Dictation does seem to work fine here. For now, restarting the phone seems to be the only solution.

Hi. It's probably a small thing but there's at least two more updates since 10.3.1 so you might want to see if you update it might fix it. Also, remember the iPhone five is a lot slower then a six, and you're just having these hangups because the newer ios run slower on that then a newer model. Something I don't like, so when my phone starts to lag like that, i usually try to get a newer one ifnot the newest one. Just a thought.

Hello,

You mentioned this occurred in previous versions of IOS on your device. Have you tried doing a factory restore? It could be a corrupt file on your system thus all the updates you have performed has not corrected it.

Here is what I suggest. Connect your device to your Windows or Mac and perform a complete back up. Then select restore and continue to set up your device as new. Set up wifi and do not install any apps. Check if all is well with dictation and the preinstalled apps. If it all works, you can download and install each app you use or restore from back up. Be aware, if you restore from back up, the problem may reoccur.

HTH and good luck.
