When using the iPhone's dictation in a text message, it inserts random comma punctuations into my sentences even if I did not state for a comma to be inserted. The commas being inserted are not grammatically correct, so this does not appear to be as a result of an auto correct function. This began after I upgraded to IO 16. Does anyone know why this is happening?

It makes me laugh (sardonically) whenever I have a problem with an Apple computer or phone and I come to the official "discussions.apple.com" website to find the solution, because the exact same thing happens every time -- somebody asks a straightforward question about the exact same problem that I have and then the sadistic Apple "expert" predictably answers their question with a series of super annoying, extremely specific technical questions that makes that person jump through a series of digital hoops to provide information to the expert before they even attempt to answer the question. (And then of course 9 times out of 10 they somehow never manage to actually answer the question, and some random "civilian" actually winds up providing the solution.)
I think I would start crying if I ever saw an "expert" actually answer the question asked with a simple, definitive and forthright solution without first engaging in the passive-aggressive "answer a bunch of my questions first" dance of digital death.
If the experts are such experts, why can't they just try a bunch of stuff on their end and figure out the solution all by themselves? Inquiring minds would like to know.
This has also been happening to me. One of the solutions I found that works is turning off Smart Punctuation in settings.
Me too, especially numbers. The work, I dictate part numbers all the time and it adds in commas, & I then have to delete them. All apps are affected. Re-booting doesn’t help.
I don't think it's a glitch. The new OS made dictation sensitive to pauses, and so it puts commas in for you (like the 2 in this sentence), too often.
I am dictating on a Mac mini, Ventura OS. I cannot find the auto-punctuate feature (to disable the incessant commas) in keyboards or anywhere else. Is this available only on i-phones? Thanks.
Sorted thx
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
Just fix it already. Enough with the discussions and yentering. Thx.
I've just dictated two words and it put a comma in between them! I did not pause either. The words were mind boggling. 🙄 it's driving me crazy. When will they change the **** thing?

Have you turned of Settings>General>Keyboards>Smart Punctuation?
Yes, it is turned off.
I just finally upgraded because I hate getting a new iOS is right away, it’s now August 4 and this problem is still happening
Settings ==> General ==> Keyboards ==> both Smart Punctuation and Auto-Punctuation turned off with Enable Dictation left on ==>
this worked for me. thanks
Did you ever receive a reply for your question? The comma thing is driving me nuts!
I can't see anyone's reply. Did you ever figure it out?
