With Dictation on iPad, you can dictate text anywhere you can type it. You can use typing or handwriting with Dictation. Either the keyboard or tools palette can stay open during Dictation so you can easily switch between speaking and typing or handwriting to enter and edit text. For example, you can select text with touch or Apple Pencil and replace it with your voice.
Dictation requests are processed on your device in many languages—no internet connection is required. When you dictate in a search field, your dictated text may be sent to the search provider to process the search.
Note: Dictation may not be available in all languages or in all countries or regions, and features may vary.
When using Dictation, cellular data charges may apply. (See Dictate text while using an Apple external keyboard with iPad
