Voice typing duplicates text on my iPhone 14 Pro Max

My 15 pro just started repeating blocks of text when I pause while using voice to text. This just started immediately after an update to 17.4.1. I can't get it to stop. Sometimes it will duplicate a paragraph 3 or 4 times.

This is maddening.

I’ve been encountering persistent issues with my iPhone, notably the frequent occurrence of double texts. It feels as though there’s more emphasis on developing aesthetic features like a titanium band for the new iPhone, rather than enhancing its fundamental functionalities. Despite promises made years ago, it seems the voice-to-text feature and Siri’s performance remain antiquated. I’m seriously considering switching to an Android device, as it appears to be the only viable solution to these ongoing frustrations.

I’m having the exact same problem! When I use voice dictation when texting, it randomly repeat sentences, I’ve typed without me, touching or doing anything. Very aggravating!

I am SO over this problem. Apple, PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!

Yeah, his response wasn’t really helpful. Yeah, his response wasn’t really helpful.

(Duplicated ^^)

He’s not experiencing the issues so he’s just guessing about solutions

This problem seems to happen more on particular websites, such as craigslist. It does not matter what you type on craigslist. Everything on craigslist duplicates and you have to remove one said before you can hit search.

Furthermore, this problem has been going on since before. iOS 15. Not just Craigslist but with in the Apple applications, such as Safari, Google, Bible Gateway, iOS, text messaging, iOS, email, etc.

It’s so much safer to be able to speak into your phone while driving. To leave a quick message to somebody or something. You’re not using your fingers to text. But everything duplicates at random. You don’t know when it’s going to happen and you don’t know why. Can’t somebody with an Apple figure this out. Why don’t you guys as a company have a Department do nothing but use voice for condition for a month or two. Do not use your fingers to type things in. Then the whole department can start complaining and figuring this out.

Thank you, Big – man

No, it’s some buggy thing. Very frustrating. It will just randomly repeat whole sentences I’ve already typed inserting than somewhere else. Crazy stuff. Look how many people have this problem.

I’ve been dealing with this problem for years. Went into the Apple Store and they thought they fixed it but they were absolutely 100% wrong. Such a pain! It’s the worst when you try to edit some thing because it might just repeat what was texted before or after and sometimes I find an entire paragraph repeated at the bottom of the letter. Can’t send an email without proofreading it 1 million times. Sometimes a 5 to 10 minute email takes an hour and a half. Pulling my hair out!

THIS WORKED FOR ME…

OK, I was equally as frustrated as anyone. I’m in a creative industry and if one of my tools starts repeating itself and I look down after a few hundred words to find that it’s 1000 words that’s a big deal.

It totally totally throws off momentum and the creative direction I was taken on a feature article. Not to mention my ADD - so if I have to stop and start and erase a duplicate, my train of thought is shot and I may never recapture that idea.

Now, what were we talking about?

OK, has anyone figured this out? If not, I think I did. So I came to this site to try to find a solution and could not find anything. Just like everyone else totally frustrated …

HOWEVER! mine just started duplicating ia few weeks ago ago and I remembered the operating system updated so I thought maybe it’s the new operating system … so I went to take a look at what operating system I updated to and there it was staring straight at me. I also updated my Wi-Fi to 5G! Ahhh HAAA!!! 😤

So obviously, it wasn’t the operating system because so many people on here was using very different ones and earlier versions so it was a small flip of a switch. When I updated to 5G, I kept a split line because some things work better on the older network. So I have two wireless options and one is 5G. So as long as I am NOT on 5G it hasn’t DUPLICATED.

I’m currently testing it out so curious to see if it works for anyone else But for the last hour, it has been working perfectly compared to a complete duplication nightmare for the last couple weeks.

Hope this helps somebody…SOUTH MAG!

Not helpful.Not helpful. (Duplicate) This is clearly a bug and these are not bug fixes.

I have tried every recommended fix. The constant repetition of dicated speech continues to occur. Can't apple fix this please!!!!

17.4 made everything WORSE. I swear Apple enjoys annoying its customers😡

If they can come up with the latest greatest technological advances, why can’t they fix the dumbest things??

going back to android

this is such a bullcrap response... I'm having the same "dictated text messages being inserted multiple times in the text" issue... it doesn't require a screen shot or more details or more explanation. Its obvious what is occurring and given the amount of people experiencing, has to be well known by Apple. This is why Samsung just surpassed Apple. Nothing new, nothing innovative, poor response to widely experienced problems
