Dictation of number words

When I use dictation on my iphone, there are times (such as using it learning German with Duolingo) when I definitely do not want it to replace a word to be replaced with a numeral. Duolingo wants to be sure that I can translate "ten" into zehn, not 10.

How can I force the dictation to use words for numbers?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

If you say the numerals one after the other it may convert to digit otherwise it remains as text



  • no space—to eliminate the space between two words (not available for all languages)
  • no space on … no space off—to run a series of words together (not available for all languages)
