Hello. I have an app that makes use of the speech framework for speech to text. A couple of our testers have reported that the text to speech does not work unless Dictation is enabled in the keyboard settings. This was reported by a tester on an iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 15.5 (issue persisted after updating to 15.6), as well as another tester on an iPhone 12 running iOS 15.2.1.

However, we were unable to reproduce this on our end on the following devices:

iPhone SE (2nd gen) running iOS 15.6 iPad air running iOS 12.5.5 iPod touch (6th gen ) running iOS 12.5.5 iPhone 13 pro running iOS 15.6

STT works on these devices regardless if keyboard dictation is on or off.

Why is this only required on a small handful of devices??

Hey there, this sounds like unexpected behavior to me. In order to really understand what is going on and offer help, it's important for us to look through logs included in a sysdiagnose along with a screen recording. If you are unable to reproduce and collect these logs for yourself, please ask your testers to provide this information for you to forward in a bug report.

You can do this by filling out a report using Feedback Assistant, linked here https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/
