Hi all
One of my most beloved functions of my iPhone 6 has stopped working: voice recognition/dictation. When I click the microphone icon on the screen keyboard or when I start Siri the voice recognition mode starts fine. However even in completely quiet environments the waveform shows some wild action when there is only silence. After a few seconds Siri tells me it was not able to understand, same for the keyboard.
Interesting details:
What I have tried so far:
Anyone with an idea that I could try ?
Thanks for any advice.

Interesting details:
- Both Siri and dictation work fine as soon as I use a headset
- The microphone itself seems to work fine for regular phone calls, FaceTime, video recording, also in other apps like WhatsApp
What I have tried so far:
- Turning Siri off and on again
- Performing an iOS update to the latest version
- Performing a backup to iTunes and restoring that backup
- Resetting the iPhone without using iTunes
- Using the ‘Restore iPhone’ function in iTunes without restoring a previous backup (setting up the iPhone as 'new device')
- Calling Apple support – who say that they’re sorry but I’d be four weeks out of support and they could repair/exchange my iPhone for a flat fee of ~300 Dollars.
Anyone with an idea that I could try ?
Thanks for any advice.
