I have an English and a Spanish keyboard. I use the dictation feature in both languages a lot and it worked great yesterday. Last night I updated the OS to the new version 13.1.3 and now the keyboard changes between languages independently. I can be dictating in Spanish using the Spanish keyboard, the letters on the keyboard are Spanish, but the dictated words are English. Is there a fix for this problem?
iPhone 7 Plus
My Spanish dictation auto corrects to nonsense in English. Why would that happen when I have the language setting clearly marked for Spanish?
I guess no one cares because the bilingual market must be small. This is really irritating.

Hi sailorchris123,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand that dictation isn’t working as expected on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, and I’d like to assist you.
First, be sure the language you’re wanting to use is selected appropriately before dictating text. Here’s how: Use Dictation on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If needed, head into Settings > General > Keyboard, then toggle off, then on Enable Dictation. Likewise, tap on Keyboards, then remove, then add back the desired keyboards.
Lastly, be sure your device is fully backed up and updated to the most recent version of iOS 13: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
I hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
Super frustrating. It has made Spanish language talk to text largely unusable. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Sometimes it is set for Spanish but switches to English unsolicited. Sometimes it just freezes up and won’t do anything in either language.
i would love for this to get fixed. Two weeks ago, everything worked fine. An update later, and it is a train wreck.
Still a mess. I did all the stuff you suggested. My next Spanish language talk to text started in Spanish, then switched to attempted English and posted a bunch of nonsense as a result. I erased it all and typed my message manually just like I have had to do for weeks now. Impatiently waiting for this to get corrected...
Can someone please address this!
Still terrible. My English dictation even has problems now. Sometimes I speak in Spanish, set for Spanish, and it will autocorrect to a bunch of nonsense in English. I know this probably doesn’t affect a lot of people but it is a really frustrating.
This problem occurred when I updated the phones operating system. I tried it on a friends google phone and it works fine. Same for a Samsung phone. It only happens on my iPhone.
It seems that only 2 of us in the entire world have this problem and no one seems to care. I find it incredibly frustrating especially since it worked so well before apple upgraded their system.
