So playing with some of the settings in Dictation and the keyboard settings I found out that if you turn off advance dictation under the dictation tab and also slow down the repeat for the keyboard and keyboard in settings it seems to fix the repeating issue so maybe it's just the advanced dictation.


Are use dictation to make this whole entire reply in Safari so looks like I might've fixed the dictation duplication issue.


I hope this works for you good luck!

Well I think I fixed it, I've been having this problem for months without any solution I was reading the comments people were saying go to accessibility and turn off voice control, my voice control had not ever been turned on but I turned it on and used it once or twice and then turned it back off and now the duplication of text when usingWell I think I fixed it, I've been having this problem for months without any solution I was reading the comments people were saying go to accessibility and turn off voice control, my voice control had not ever been turned on but I turned it on and used it once or twice and then turned it back off and now the duplication of text when using dictation has stopped, finally I think this is a real solution 😐😐😐😐 I can 😐go back to using Safari I had been using brave I 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

It really only happens to me in Safari, not Mail. So obviously it behaves differently for different people. I'm trying to train myself to end dictation with any key except Function, which prevents the duplication. However, if dictation stops on its own accord because of the time limit, then it duplicates.


As someone with a manual handicap, I depend heavily on Dictation. The main reason I upgrade from one operating system to a newer one is an attempt to improve it. It just seems to get worse, though, or it introduces new and different problems.
