Dictation not working

More or less wondering if this is an issue when anyone else. In Beta 2, dictation was not working. I press the mic icon and it acts like it is listening, but nothing is populated. I checked all the normal items and turned off and back on dictation in the keyboard settings and checked in Screentime/App settings.

I was hoping Beta 3 would fix this, but did not. Checked and played with the settings again and restarted the phone a few times with no joy.
 
I am currently trying to erase and reinstall to see if that helps. Then I will submit a bug report, if it is a bug at all. I do not see anyone else with the issue.
 
When dictation stopped working for me on my previous iPhone during iOS 17 beta it was because one of the microphones had failed. Hopefully that isn't the case here.

Was it the hardware that failed? Did you have to bring it to Apple to get it fixed?

The authorized service provider that I took it to did a diagnostic and figured out the mic was broken and said it wasn't worth fixing as they have to swap the whole display to swap the front microphone and a new phone would be cheaper. I'm not sure what made the mic stop working exactly but it was during the beta period that dictation stopped.
 
In case anyone is interested or following this. I did so many things to try to troubleshoot this from restoring to resetting everything. Turns out that it is related to the phone being on silent. When it is not on silent it works correctly and when I turn on silent, it has a delay. I will provide the feedback.

Now to set up all my settings and apps again. 😫

Turns out it was a hardware issue as I just got back from the Apple Store and they replace the "middle" of the phone and it works fine now. Strange since there really is no switch or anything related to silent mode on the iPhone 15 Pro.
