Q: I would like to use the built in dictation tool. How do I access it?

Built into the keyboard of your iPad Air or newer is a dictation tool. To use this tool, open an app that requires you to type using the onscreen keyboard. When the keyboard pops up, look at the bottom left hand corner. There you will see a little microphone icon. The first time you tap the icon, you will be asked to "Enable Dictation?" Once you have enabled dictation, you will now be able to use the speech to text feature. Click "Done" when you have finished using the dictation tool.
