Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

When I dictate a text or other things, catcher Siri randomly throws in some form of the word catch whenever she wants to. It just happened above after the words other things achieve. I never said the word catcher. Catch the same thing is true of the word achieve a Chuchu in a sentence before last catchy. Catching. There it goes again so I will type the rest of this. You have to ignore “a Chuchu” to make sense of what Siri is typing in place of what I am dictating. Ever see anything like this before?

YES, it's happening to nearly EVERY voice dictation I do on text, email, imessage. If I don't proofread before sending, I can bet there will be a few "catch" phrases in the mix. I'm using the iPhone 11pro max with the latest iOS 13 updates if that makes a difference.

I did call Apple but I didn’t have the case number. I haven’t seen it posted yet, Did I miss it?

Me too especially when I’m dictating into Google docs, probably because there are a lot of lengthy dictations and pauses. Aside from catch and catchy I get “Fatoui”, Whatever that means.

Good luck to everyone! I just spent over 10 minutes on the phone with an Apple rep. She did not want the case number that was previously assigned. And she dropped the call! Stellar service.

I also get all the catchy words, but it started a couple weeks ago when I upgraded from the 6s plus to the 11 pro max. Very disappointing .

I thought mine was fixed, too, as it didn't happen as quickly as it had before. But, alas, it kicked up again and began to pick up speed so it is clearly not fixed.

Maybe I'm uninformed but what good would it do to go to an Apple STORE instead of calling in?

Yeah it does the same thing on my phone and it’s an old 6S. Drives me effing crazy. To the point it’s quicker to type than to have to re-read and re-write all my texts again

Update did not fix problem.

We have been working with Apple support for weeks now and the “engineers “ still have no idea how to fix it!

I spoke with Support and was able to get the issue fixed. They had me go to settings, general, reset and reset keyboard dictionary. I have not had the issue since
