Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

NO! Getting a new phone won't solve it. See posts by members with brand new 11 phones. It's a system-wide program problem. There's another posting/thread on this same topic & today someone posted that when they Googled the offending words like catch, catchy, chachi, etc, that it came up as some sort of password hacking operation???

Call Apple Care and tell them about it. Use the case number in the thread above. If we don’t each call them about it, they won’t do anything about it. Apple will just keep ignoring this issue until a critical mass of affected customers emerge.

Yes, this is an Apple problem. Please call Apple Care and let them know. There is a case number back up in the thread a ways. Please give that number to the Apple rep with whom you speak. I've called them three times and frankly, if I and only a few others report the issue, the complaint keeps falling on deaf ears. Apple Care needs to hear FROM ALL OF US, otherwise, it is clear, they will just keep ignoring the problem. Please call Apple and please check in now and then to this thread to remind others to call Apple Care. Otherwise the problem just persists with no solution, since we are then just given quick fixes that don't last more than a day.

It hasn’t been that long yet but I deleted the chrome browser from my iPhone And the problem has stopped happening. It’s only been about 15 minutes but we’ll see.

Sorry to beat this drum again: please call Apple Care too. If all folk on this thread call, Apple might get that there truly is a problem folks on their end must resolve.

CALL APPLE!

This definitely happens to me all the time. It doesn’t happen to me with Siri although it might. I use dictation a lot and it happens all that way. All I have to do is hit the dictation button and say nothing and eventually the word catch, catching or catcher will appear.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND RESETTING! I did as you suggested, even rebooted, and problem is still there. But now all my special words are gone.

This is not a RESET issue. It's an Apple issue.

And it began for me immediately upon installing the 2nd to the last OS update. I had avoided the update until they bugged the crap out of me to install it, so I did. Then - Voila! - Catchy catch catch had invaded.

APPLE needs to do something about this - NOT US!!! Maybe if we all call they'll do something???

I also have this exact same issue with my brand new IPhone 11 Pro Max. If I hesitate for 1-2 seconds when using the mic, catch, catcher, catchy randomly pop up. My camera has frozen a few times, too. Has anyone called Apple with our problem?

Just ask for Customer Service. I spoke to a human. He didn't know anything about it but put me on a 5 minute hold. I have aIOS13.2.3 . He sent me over to the senior advisor after running through a bunch of things through Settings-General. He finally asked me to do what was suggested by someone else...General-Reset-Reset Keyboard Dictionary. I told him I didn't want to do that because of the other person on this conversation that said "DON'T DO IT. IT DOESN'T WORK!"

Senior Advisor came on and she hadn't heard anything about this either. I gave her this website address so she know that we are a community with the same "catchy" problem! I'll let you know what she says.

i’ve encountered this a bunch and it seems that I figured out that the auto dictate is interpreting your breathing as the word “catch“.… Or some derivative there of. It seems not to happen in apps as much as it does in Safari… Somehow. It’s kind of intermittent and doesn’t always happen but it happens quite a bit with me. It started happening so much that I realized it was trying to analyze my breathing and I figured out that it was doing it I’m trying to breathe heavy and trying to get it to do it right now because it just did it a minute ago and it’s not doing it now which is ******** but anyway. I’ve seen it enough times to figure out that this is the case. Catch up catch up over there we go. I wasn’t even breathing that time catch up and I tapped ****. I tapped on the screen and it said catch up Catch. Then I breathe a little bit and it said catch catchy. What the **** I just said goddamn. This ***** insane. It keeps interpreting all sorts of weird stuff like breathing or tapping or swiping up on the screen as catch. Catch. Then I breathe a little bit and it said catch catchy. What the **** I just said goddamn. This ***** insane. It keeps interpreting all sorts of weird stuff like breathing or tapping or swiping up on the screen as catch. This might be an update issue but maybe not. I haven’t updated in quite a while so.

Hope that helps. Be vigilant.

I couldn't read the full 10 pages of reports here, but I read the first few, and the last. Apple needs to get this resolved, and probably demote whomever has allowed it to go on this long. My issues have gotten worse - but I do notice that it seems worse and more frequent with ambient noise or when using external input / bluetooth devices. Regardless, they just need to add AI filters that omit things that aren't overtly spoken words, rather than trying to interpret every little utterance.

Until then, please don't offer me a ride in your self-driving car !

Please everyone, do post here and also call Apple Care. Make Apple actually care.

CALL APPLE!

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.
