How do I get my kid to use speech ID

Hi, I recently purchased a Gabb 3e watch for my son. The voice-to-text function has a problem I could use help with. It works sometimes but not often. What it does is after pressing the black "mic" icon it properly turns red to listen, then after saying our bit pressing it again turns it back to black. All good so far. The spinning icon comes next yet when it's done spinning it comes back blank with nothing transcripted. How to fix?

my son keeps trying to use the voice to text and it stopped working. We’ve updated everything and still no luck. Also, the tracking won’t update for days. Kind of pointless to have gps tracking when it doesn’t even update his location. We’ve had his watch since April 2024 and have had to replace it 3 times already. This last round seems to be ok until recently when the texting stopped working and the location won’t update. According to the location my kid has been at school for 24 hrs.

voice texting not working, says "invalid destination" even thought he's texting an approved contact.
