Phonegap Build IOS13 - 13.2 keyboard Dictation / Speech to text no longer working

In my phonegap build app, I have found that after upgrading to ios version 13 - 13.2 the dictation (microphone / speech to text button) is no longer working properly.

to recreate:
--place cursor into a text field
--press microphone button and start talking
--The microphone will only catch the first one to two seconds, then stop recording

It seems to be a problem with all of the 3rd party keyboard plugins.

Has anyone found a fix or a work around for this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Solution

  • I had the same problem. The problem seems to be only present in UIWebView. Once I transitioned my project to WKWebView, the problem went away.

    Here are instructions on how to transition from UIWebView to WKWebView.
