Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, BetterSpeechtoText.
If I understand your post correctly, you'd like to improve the accuracy of dictation on your Mac as it seems to be adding the word "word" before every sentence. I’d like to help.
This guide may help: Dictate your messages and documents on Mac
If you're still experiencing issues, let's do some testing to narrow down the issue.
Safe mode will tell us if the issue is related to a startup item or plugins, and sometimes corrects the issue. This article will tell you how: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
If everything is working correctly in safe mode, but is not working when you get back to your user account, please check the section titled "If an issue doesn't happen in safe mode" for the next troubleshooting steps.
If the issue continues while in safe mode, a test user will let us know if the issue is isolated to your account, or system wide: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac. If the issue happens in the test user also, then please check the section titled "If an issue happens in more than one user account."
If the issue continues, let us know the results of each of these tests.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.
Good morning Sarah,
Thank you for the options, I discovered why my voice control was not operating as well as it could… I had a piece of scotch tape over the microphone.
When I removed the scotch tape from the microphone (top of the desktop) voice recognition improved tremendously.
I'm now looking for a way to enhance/improve voice recognition, and I'm curious whether an external microphone would help.
I found a microphone at the Apple store and was wondering what your thoughts are and whether this microphone (or any recommended by Apple) would improve the speech recognition of voice control.
Shure MOTIV MV5 Digital Condenser Microphone
Thanks for your help,
Lou
