I have iphone 4S and used Dictation a lot. My wife accidentally turned it off when adjusting some settings on my phone while driving. Now the setting no longer is there. How do you reactivate it? There is no… “Dication On/Off” as I’d imagine there should be (and probably used to be). Bug?

The dictation on/off only appears on iPhone if you upgraded to iOS 5. If the device started out with iOS 5, that switch is missing.

My iPhone 4S doesn’t have the ‘Dictation’ option. Have the author actually tried it on an iPhone 4S?

Turn it off and on again to reconfigure Dictation to your voice too. I noticed after a friend was messing around with mine that it became inaccurate, flipping the switch back and forth made it normal again.
