So, make sure Caption Panel is off.

Dictation Button Location has Changed on the Default iOS keyboard

Just noticed this last week, so who knows how long this change has been around as I as a VO user just use the Magic Double tap for voice dictation.

Rather than being to the left of the Space Bar the Dictation button is now to the right.However
