Microphone has started adding the word "catch" or "catch up" to what I have dictated

I dictate with microphone into iphone text messages frequently. Recently the microphone has started adding the word "catch" or "catch up" to what I have dictated, always at the beginning of a sentence, or at a pause in the dictation. It gets the rest of the sentence right. This is not a case of the microphone functionality misunderstanding what I have said. It is an addition to what has been said. I have to delete these extra words. Any ideas on fixing or what is going on?

I used the case number Apple support recommends restoring the iPhone through iTunes by plugging into your computer, holding the home/power buttons or volume up, volume down, hold power until the message appears that the iphone needs to be restored and then iTunes will download the latest software and write a fresh image. I personally doubt this will do anything, they want me to call back when/if there is still an issue. Also need to make sure iCloud backup is current, and then it will make you download all apps, and sign into everything again. I feel like outsourced labor for an issue they should just deal with but "they haven't seen this issue before" . I said I think the cure is worse than the disease. If anyone has tried this already please post it and contact the iPhone support team using case number 100973766645. They will be confused because the name on the case is someone else's name! Just tell them the story.
