Everyone knows about the Voice-to-Text or Dictation feature for fast typing on an iPhone. However, sometimes it gets too annoying, especially when the phone does not hear properly and produces gibberish on the screen. If you, too, feel that the option for Voice-to-Text interrupts your peace, all I can say is do not worry; it is very easy to turn it off.
What Is The Voice-to-Text Feature?
The Voice to Text is the Dictation feature, which takes your words over the phone and converts them into text automatically. While at times such Voice-to-Text applications could ultimately save time typing, several people opt to turn them off because of privacy concerns or sheer typing errors.

It will prompt asking for confirmation. Press Turn Off Dictation.
In this way, when you hit the microphone tab, Voice-to-Text is turned off on the keyboard.
What to Do If I Want to Turn It Back On?

Information of Concern
