You may look into some 3rd party libraries like: [iSpeech](http://www.ispeech.org) or [SpeechKit](https://developer.nuance.com) — Aleksey Potapov, Apr 21 '16 at 11:00

Unfortunately, the response will be as simple as your question: No. Apple do not provide any way to do so.

The dictation process has to be launched by the user, not by the app.
