Siri dictation throws in extra words that I am not saying

I have undergone all the above proposed steps in my iphone 6. Tested witth good results four times. Fifth test failed. Went back to check keyboard settings and they are all stilll where I left them: turned off. :(

Bernie,

This really looks like a virus that takes advantage of a system flaw in a very persistent and pernicious fashion. It may go dormant for a short while with the recommended remedies, but then sneaks back in to show its ugly "fatou catchy" face. I am certainly no IT expert. Yet I know we need actions to forcefully eradicate this problem, not short fixes that don't resolve the issue. Because of my tremor, I rely upon voice dictation heavily. I HAVE NO CHOICE. Please pass this on to Crystal. I very much appreciate all that you and she are doing to help all of us struggling with this "catchy catch".

P.S: You won't believe how much time it took to type this post and then remove all of my typos caused by my tremor...TEN oor ELEVEN minutes! Texting is vexing and composing densely-worded resumes and authoritave e-mails at work is downright daunting. I feel "caught" in some nasty web.

I don’t believe this is a virus. I bought a brand new iPhone 11 Pro Max and the problem came with it. Catcher think it is a defect. I didn’t bother to edit that last sentence. The word catcher is one of the ones that keeps coming up

I just started with this issue a couple of months ago. I thought it was when I clicked the phone dictation off, that it was recording the little sound that was made at the end.but it Looks like it is much more random than that, based on everyone’s comments.

Good for you for NOT DOING THE RESET! I lost all my saved words & phrases plus my emoticons. And it's Apple's problem, not a problem with our phones or out settings.

Thanks for calling them. I'll call tomorrow, too.

Did you get the names of these Reps??? We should all start tracking who we talk to & then report any rudeness or condescension to Apple headquarters. Someone had the great idea of telling the rep about this community conversation.

Has anyone been having concurrent issues with the GPS on their phones? My GPS went insane about the same time as this catchy catch problem. It doesn't know where I am half the time. I live in Santa Barbara and just tonight it kept giving me pharmacies and Macy's in Las Vegas as "nearby" even after rebooting. I'm on the verge of going android.

I just bought an iPhone 11 -latest software etc., and am STILL having that catchy chuchu problem . APPLE, PLEASE FIX! What has happened to the expert who was going to look into this @badbernie? Who must be thanked for bringing us together.

I thought the whole point of posting on an Apple forum was to get the assistance of Apple technicians, apparently I am mistaken. My problem disappeared for a brief time when I updated my iOS, but it is back with a vengeance with all of us having the same problem you think that apple Would respond to us in someway. Pretty frustrating. Katje ( this is one of the new versions of catch that’s being inserted into my dictation catch ).

Well, let's just hope the growth of this thread will one day attract Apple's attention as more people find it. I'm one of the early posters and I thought my phone was cured but the catch words have slowly crept back in. It's not nearly as frequent as before but still happens.

I had this same problem with my old iPhone 6....I recently upgraded to an iPhone 11...and within 1 day, the same thing is happening. "catch, catcher, achoo, and a dozen other strange words.

looking forward to a solution from Apple

Sam problem here. These morons might just ignore this. I remember there was a really bad issue with the iphone few years ago that would delete old text messages or something. There was a bunch of us with that issue and they didn't do a **** thing about it. Hopefully soon I'll work up the courage to drop this iGarbage for something else.

Oh my gosh, I thought I was losing my mind. This has been happening for the last week whenever I dictate text messages.

Out of desperation I did a Google search and found this forum. I don’t know the answer as to why it’s happening, I agree with everyone it’s definitely an Apple problem. I’m on a 6S.

I’m just glad to know I’m not losing my mind and it’s happening to others.

Thanks Bernie For bringing this problem to light. As we’ve all seen, it doesn’t just happen in Siri, it happens randomly with all texting whether you were dictating or pausing. I have a new iPhone 11 and having catch catcher and now a new word .. katje .. show up randomly is driving me crazy. This has been going on for about a month and Apple still doesn’t have a solution. They don’t even seem to realize how big of a problem this is. I have to wait until after the Christmas holiday to call Apple support because there’s just too much going on right now and I just have to live with it for the time being
