    I've noticed a lot of apps lately like facebook that have a microphone button next to the space bar so you can talk instead of type into a text view. How can I implement this for UITextViews in my app?

    Thanks...

    You need not do anything. The dictation key is automatically placed next to the space bar whenever it's supported. (Involved variables in determining whether it's supported are: hardware, iOS revision, user's language, and user's settings.)

    So why then on my iPhone 5 would the microphone button show up when I'm posting in the Facebook app, but it does not appear when editing the text in a UITextView in my app?

    ----------

    Nevermind, it is showing up now. The time I noticed it wasn't there was while debugging in the simulator, on the device it works.

    That's because the Simulator "involves" one of those variables that ArtOfWarfare mentioned.
