The text dictation option in today’s smart devices has revolutionized how we text. It makes it incredibly easy to send texts quickly without manually typing them. The Apple Watch also lets you talk text using your device. However, it may sometimes not work. So why does your Apple Watch not let you talk text?
If you are having trouble using the talk-to-text feature on your Apple Watch, it may be because dictation is disabled on your Apple Watch. The talk-to-text feature will also not work on your Apple Watch if Siri is disabled on your iPhone or dictation is disabled on your keyboard.
