I have a new iPhone 12 with the latest update promax. Is anyone else having issues with a random word at the beginning of any text or email when using dictation? On almost every message using dictation it will start out with the word call or I even though that’s not what I said. It appears to be most predominant over any type of Bluetooth connection but has occurred when talking directly into the phone Mic
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
Hello Glnshk,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're having trouble with dictation on your iPhone, and we're happy to help.
It's sounds like there may be interference picking up from your surroundings or with the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Try using your dictation in different areas or a completely silent space to see if the same thing occurs. Also, check out the pointers in this article to help resolve your issue:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and have a great day!
Hello again Glnshk,
Thanks for the update. Let's turn off "Ask Siri" and Dictation to see if starting Dictation back over will help. To turn off Ask Siri, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then tap to turn off “Listen for ‘Hey Siri’” and “Press Home or Side Button for Siri.”
To turn off Dictation, go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap to turn off Enable Dictation.
Next, restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
After you restart, turn the same settings back on and test to see if the issue is resolved. If there is no change, contact Apple Support here: Get Support
Best Regards.

Thank you for that information. That did not resolve the issue. I will contact support
I get the same thing all the time. No matter how I start a sentence, it always seems to add either “hi” or “hey”. it’s infuriating.
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this in total silence but the issue still persist. Even on different types of Bluetooth devices or vehicle head units. It almost appears that it’s trying to add a word it thinks is missing. “I” , “OH” or “CALL” at the beginning of the first sentence and in someway predictive
