While I don’t have a Create keyboard,
using the Smart Keyboard, I press the down
arrow and then hold the “down arrow” on the
iPad bottom extreme right, which brings up the
on screen soft keyboard with the dictation icon
to the left of the on screen keyboard space bar
Works every time. I agree though I would like
to see a CMD-something shortcut to get there
When I try this on the 10.5 with smart keyboard it brings up the virtual keyboard but without the dictation icon - oh wait, if I then scroll through the keyboards it comes up. Thanks
I don’t think you can do it. My understanding is that Apple locks out the dictation feature from third-party developers.
I had a similar problem with a third party software keyboard on my iPad. When I asked the developer about it, he told me Apple does not allow access to keyboard dictation for security reasons. I think the same policy applies to hardware keyboards as well.
