Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

I was told by one rep that he couldn't kick my complaint upstairs because he couldn't pass along "hearsay" that this is a group problem, not a fleeting instance of just my phone misbehaving.

Maybe we should report this phenomenon with a link to this thread so that they can see that it’s not a frivolous or individually idiosyncratic complaint.

Highly unlikely. Way too many different Internet providers. Unless everyone on here is using AT&T Uverse or AT&T Wireless.

I have a new iPhone 11 and I have the same problem. It keeps typing catch or catchy when I do not say those words!!

Well I am using ATT wireless. Anyone else?

T-Mobile for me, so this option doesn't hold water. My friend has his first iPhone, an 11, and it's already "catching." I think they don't want to admit there's a serious bug, possibly spyware.

I also have T-Mobile but I don’t think that this problem has anything to do with our providers or the phone hardware. I agree that it’s a bug in the software.

I'm telling ya, Siri is just asserting her new identity and she wants to go against her programming and be called Catchy!

I, too, have noticed a respite.

It hasn’t happened to me in a few days too.

YAY! Dare we do a skippitty dance? Weight off our shoulders.

It's going pretty well...knock on wood. I haven't had the catchy problem in about 2 weeks! Thanks so much for starting this forum. I think you should change your name to GoodBernie!

Same here. Dictation has been going very well without any added words that I have not said. Thank you BadBernie (and all here). I agree that you should change your name to “GoodBernie“. 😉👍🙏

So I'm not alone. "Crap" is an understatement. Everything you describe above happens with me. How about throwing a little of your billions into better speech to text, Apple. So frustrating.
