Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

Since my last software update two nights ago, the problem seems to be fixed on my Iphone 11. There are three other threads discussing this same problem and a case number was assigned. Sorry, I don't have those links. You have to google other variations of the problem. The fellow who started this thread accidentally marked this as problem solved. He tried to fix it, but Apple doesn't have a way to undo 'solved'. So he started another thread. Some people have gone to actual Apple stores, all to no avail.

I have been experiencing catch and variations for months. It seemed to quit for a while and last week I updated to 13.3 from 12, thinking maybe all 13’s problems were gone finally. (nothing weird so far.) But just now patch is starting up again— ha! Is this a new word or did Siri just misunderstand me?

Did you post the same thing 5 times or was that another software error?

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS "FIX" THAT DOESN'T FIX!

I did it and lost all my preset words, even emoticons.

The problem was back with the hour.

THERE IS NOTHING AN INDIVIDUAL CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!

IT IS A PROGRAM PROBLEM AND ONLY APPLE CAN FIX IT!!!

DO NOT LET THEM CONVINCE YOU TO MESS WITH ANY OF YOUR SETTINGS!

The call center reps are supposed to "fix" anything you call with in order to keep their job.

It's sort of like going to a doctor and they really don't know what's wrong with you -

so they diagnose you with something (rather than nothing,

because they're trying to keep their job with the insurance companies,

who are really their bosses) and write you a prescription.

The reason it's important to CALL is to let Apple know how widespread this problem is!

It's not for them to fix it from the call ...

It was I who posted about Googling Catcher, catch, fatou, chuchu, chachi correlation. One thing I must say is that I didn't even visit the password cracking website and password database pages that appeared in my search queue after Googling the above words. I was paranoid that clicking on those pages might introduce malware, etc. into my computer. I am no IT expert and feel Apple should explore this further, since they ARE proclaimed as leading IT experts, who have a much better understanding of how these things work than do I. Although this is a user problem, I feel Apple should own up to it being an Apple problem, BECAUSE IT IS.

And BTW, something is rotten in Denmark. Why are Apple Care reps giving us quick fixes that don't work while many reps also claim at first minutes of call that they are unaware of the problem? Could it be that IT folk at Apple's core KNOW there is a problem, haven't been able to figure what's causing it, are therefore saving face by not admitting the problem, and passing on to reps quick fixes that don't work? OR, perhaps Apple core truely is unaware this is a problem needing to be addressed. Either way, we must deluge Apple Care support with calls. Also, let us get media coverage by sending PSA's to our local and national media outlets.

In November, I began experiencing the Catch, catching, cather message dictation problem. I've been working with one of the senior reps at Apple tech support for weeks. We've tried everything without success. Last week, he installed a program on my phone to gather keystrokes I think, and I've captured images of the problem texts with their time stamps. All were submitted to Apple engineers to determine and resolve the problem. He stated that they will get back to me, but that I should make sure to install all iOS updates because the fix may be in one of them. Let's see what happens.

What bothers me is that the tech support reps all claim to have no knowledge of the issue and do not seem to be interested in the fact that hundreds of us are having this problem.

Please have your friend also call Apple Care. I've called three times and plan to call again tomorrow, again using the case number y'all listed above in this thread. Your friend in his/her call might mention too what I mentioned above in thread about password-hacking webpages appearing when I googled this: Catcher, catch, catchy, fatou, chachi, chuchu correlation.

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

Go to settings, general, reset, reset keyboard dictionary. It will take care of the issue

Go to settings, general, reset, reset keyboard dictionary. It solves the issue

I spoke with Support. The solution is simple. Go to settings/general/reset/reset keyboard dictionary. Fixed the problem

Several of us did this same fix a few weeks ago. The problem went away, then crept back in over time.

I just updated to 12.4.4. Tested and re-tested. the catch word is already back.
