Issue:

Immediately when I tap the dictation button I get an error that states, "audioRecord state not successfully initiated".

This will happen if Voice for Android does not have permission to access the microphone on the device.

What to do:
  1. Go to the Android device Settings.
    Android-settings

  2. In the Settings, select Apps.
