I'd like to programmatically put my UITextField input into dictation mode, without requiring the user to bring up and select dictation from the keyboard. Searched the API documentation but can find no solution. Any ideas?

This function works not only in Word, but other programs as well. Let's open Outlook to start a new message. Then, use the keyboard shortcut “Windows Key + H” and Dictate will begin listening for your voice. Instead of typing the email on your keyboard, you can dictate your messages into a message window.
You can disable Ask Siri or Dictation at any time. To turn off Ask Siri, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then tap to turn off “Listen for 'Hey Siri'” and “Press Home or Side Button for Siri.” To turn off Dictation, go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap to turn off Enable Dictation.
UITextField is part of UIKit framework and is used to display an area to collect text input from the user using the onscreen keyboard. When a text field is tapped, the keyboard automatically slides up onto the screen.
The UITextField class does not provide built-in support for formatting its string using an Formatter object, but you can use the text field’s delegate to format the content yourself. To do so, use the text field’s delegate methods to validate text and to format it appropriately.
Initializes the UITextField with the specified frame. A constructor used when creating managed representations of unmanaged objects; Called by the runtime. A constructor that initializes the object from the data stored in the unarchiver object. Constructor to call on derived classes to skip initialization and merely allocate the object.
You use text fields to gather text-based input from the user using the onscreen keyboard. The keyboard is configurable for many different types of input such as plain text, emails, numbers, and so on. Text fields use the target-action mechanism and a delegate object to report changes made during the course of editing.
This is currently not possible on iOS.
The only place where it is kind of possible is in an app using WatchKit. In WKInterfaceController you can actually use presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions with nil as parameter which starts dictation input immediately.
