iPhone dictation during texting

Apple, you still haven't addressed the problem, and you still haven't fixed the problem, and I know people who have even quit using dictation because of their frustration. The Apple techs who respond on this discussion always act as though it's a unique problem, and requires either restarting your phone or an update. This is absolutely not the case!

We are all very sick of having the dictation program changing our words, and either having to go back and correct them, or in some cases even having an embarrassing situation where it will even put in profanity at times. It commonly adds words that weren't even spoken, and restructures sentences with incorrect grammar.

The program doesn't seem to understand the difference between plural and possessive, and often puts apostrophes in words that are obviously meant to be plural.

I don't understand why Apple isn't interested in fixing this situation.

Please don't give us the standard cliché responses that are typical from Apple techs, but tell us the truth.

Does anyone else feel this way?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Once again, as would be expected, there's no substance to the answer that's given by an apple tech. Please reread my original post.

As I said, this situation is not unique to me, and I suspect that you know exactly what I'm talking about, and that it happens to you all the time, as it does to millions of other people.

Please address the issue and quit sidestepping.
