Gigi, I can't really say much about if this happens now, seeing I'm a dev on I O S 6, so thus am on N D A, but I can! legally say this: in I O S 5, which is the most current firmware readily available for the public, which I'm quite sure is what you have, I had this problem a fair amount, yes.
Remember that even though dictation is not a part of Seri persey, it is actually ran through the same proxy server that Seri uses. With this said, basically in a more basic meaning... if the server is busy that Seri uses, which often times, it is, remember, Seri is? still in public beta... then dictation also isn't gonna work. Here's a little trick, if you don't wanna restart your IPhone that you can try that sometimes helps. This isn't exactly documented, and it's nothing I shouldn't be telling you. Why this works, I'm unfortunately not allowed to disclose but i can! at least tell you sometimes and actually, often times, it does. When this happens, go to settings, then go to general, and finally, Seri. You'll notice that you have 3 options. always, which is probably where it's now at, handset only, or off. If you switch it to handset only for about 5 seconds, then switch it back to always, then try using Seri, or dictation, either or, it should start to work again. Again, I'm not authorized to explain to you why this works, and I know it's kind a cock eyed. Trust me though, if you knew the reason, you'd understand. Trust me though, for now, just know, stupid as I know this sounds, and as irrelivant as I'm sure it's gotta sound, believe me: it does! usually work.

Sometimes on my iPhone dictation option just doesn't work at all. I press the dictation key and with no warning, nothing happens. It just says "thinking", and nothing appears on the display. Every time this happens, I have to restart the iPhone. Restarting seems to solve the problem, until the next time it decides to go on strike.
