No. I called Apple accessibility support about this. This is an actual intended behavior with iOS 11. Annoying as all get out. For me it disappears when double tapping the little microphone/dictation button left of the keyboard and doing the same to stop dictation. You'll find in place of the full keyboard, there will be a couple of dictate buttons and a keyboard button. A next keyboard button as well if you have multiple keyboards enabled. Double tapping the keyboard button brings back the keyboard. The Apple guy said that this behavior cannot be disabled or toggled, but if I wanted the keyboard to stay present/visible, to invoke the two finger double tap in the edit field in question to start and stop dictation. I expressed my displeasure with this new behavior as I find myself having to God knows how many times throughout the day double click that dumb keyboard button to go back and edit text. That and for me at least, after I bring back the keyboard to click on a search or go or the return button often, I'll trigger the dictation again. That and having to do a two finger double tap to start/stop dictation on the phone really takes away from the one handed device aspect. I guess it may have some benefit for sighted folks or for larger iOS devices, but for one handed usage on iPhones or if you simply want to edit text after dictating since it's not always reliable, it's been a major pain. I asked if there could be some way to consider adding a toggle/disable ability for this particular feature in the future. Even if it's buried somewhere in the keyboard or accessibility settings. He said they're always listening to user feedback, blah, blah, blah. I would encourage others who find this new feature to be incredibly disruptive contact Apple accessibility as well to let them know of their frustration.

Hi Gianni, It sounds like you've used a Bluetooth keyboard or braille display recently, and your phone is still expecting to get input from it. If you were using a keyboard, connect it and press its Eject key. If it was a braille display, press SH-chord, Space with dots 1-4-6.
