Hi MadMadMadMac,

There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the voice control settings for that function. You can suggest a change in this feature by leaving feedback at this link: Product Feedback.

Cheers.

Hi MadMadMadMac,

Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities.

You will need to remove OK as a keyboard shortcut. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.

There more info about your keyboard in this article: Save keystrokes with text replacements on iPhone.

Best Wishes.

You can type individual letters by proceeding the letter with the word "letter."

say "letter B" to get B

It takes some practice to get the cadence down, and some letters may be problematic. It seems to only produce upper case letters.

I'm pretty sure you cannot use keyboard replacements with voice control.
