Everything is set correctly...the issue started after I download 15.1 OS....the messaging dictation understands all my words but every few words inserts words that have no relevance to my conversation...like....."hello, I\pronoun would like to find a deal which is a \determiner" etc etc so utter garbage. So have to spend more time fixing errors than if i was typing
