That's odd since I had sighted help confirm that the dictation button was not appearing on the screen.
Furthermore, when I attempt to double tap while in an edit field I never hear the tone indicating to begin dictating. Rather what usually happens is music will start playing. I'm running ios7 on a 4s. This is a pretty bug bug for me since I use dictation quite a lot when texting or writing short emails. Any clue what I may be doing wrong?
