On the onscreen keyboard I tap the Microphone key so that I can dictate my typing. The putt on says Initializing for several seconds and just shuts off.
How can I make dictation work?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Same here, neither voice commands nor dictation are working. When I double click on the meta button for voice commands, it says it's not available, that it is and experimental feature in beta and not available on my headset..!

Hello there! Was this a feature that was working fine on our Meta Quest 2 device? I personally never used it before. I want to get as much information as possible to get this a better look at!

Yes it worked fine on Quest 2

I am on Quest 2, and Voice Dictation has been broken for what feels like months. As OP stated, when I tap the dictation icon on keyboard, it says "initializing" but nothing happens. One of the many nice things broken by V57. Why can't we have nice things? 🙂
Thanks for your time 🛠️

Hi. What's the status of this? Dictation stoped working for me in Facebook Messenger and in Whatsapp. It's working everywhere else. Up to a day ago. The other apps worked as well and now they no longer do. I've tried reinstalling them and everything and nothing will fix it. Why is this happening? And how are we gonna fix it?

Any update on this Alice? This seems a bit ridiculous. Typing is cumbersome on the Quest 3 (or any of them I imagine). This is such an elementary issue, especially on Android. Come on Oculus, please fix this!

same here. dictation works in every app except Messenger and WhatsApp. in THOSE apps, i just hear a "byoweep" sound when i click the microphone.

I would think that checking messages and responding with voice to text would be widely used In a virtual setting. I am both surprised and disappointed by the lack of response from Meta concerning this issue.
