Shut off voice to text

Turn off Dictation (stops ALL voice-to-text)

If you want voice-to-text permanently disabled:

1. Open Settings
2. Go to General → Keyboard
3. Turn OFF:

• • Enable Dictation
  • Dictation with Apple Intelligence (if shown)

This immediately stops the iPad from converting speech to text anywhere (Mail, Word, Excel, Messages, Notes, etc.).

New iPad Pro, added Apple Intelligence.

Now if I start writing email, message, excel or word, iPad picks up background sounds and words that I don’t want on screen.

i do not know how to shut off this voice to text?

When you say that you're "writing email...." do you mean that you are actually typing, but you're still seeing random words? That doesn't sound like voice-to-text.

Screenshots are helpful.
