Since updating to IOS17, when I use voice to text, it often cuts out the beginning of what I dictate, or leaves out whole words, or does not translate the last sentence. Its like it cant process the full sentences or starts dictating 3 words into what I am saying.

I have a workaround that works 100%, as far as I know.
This fix worked for me regardless of the alt EN keyboard used. Just as long as the EN-US keyboard is deleted and the dictation language is totally changed to a different country's version of English - you'll be gtg!
Get with the program Apple. Certainly no time wasted at the opportunity to take my money, but let's just let all of these $1500 iPhones just be crippled until you decide to "update" again. Whatever.
Hello chowda169,
We see you have an issue with Dictation delaying between when you activate it and the text beings typing. There are a few steps you can walk through that may help resolve this.
Reply back how these steps do for you.
All the best.
I finally got mine to work by changing the keyboard. Didn’t even have to reboot period, as a matter fact, I am speaking this post as well!!!
My iPad dictation stopped working with 17.4, and I did what you suggested here and it worked (thanks!), but then I reinstalled EN US (and deleted EN UK) and it continued to work. So it seems the fix may be just reinstalling the keyboard.
Tried all solutions posted here... none worked. BUT turning bluetooth off then on again did work for me! Good luck!
Same! Set keyboard to Australia and it works again. Apps like Duolingo still don’t work.
Dictation doesn't work anymore, iPhone 13 Pro Max. Even apps like Duolingo don't recognize my voice. Siri hears me fine.
Everything done so far:
Hopefully I got mine fixed. Apparently dictate is off by default when you upgrade to 17. If you go to settings. Then general. Then keyboard. Towards the bottom you can cut on dictation.
Mine is on now. Time will tell if it dictates properly.
I've been using the Australian keyboard and although not perfect, it seemed way better. Based on a couple of posts here today I went back to US keyboard and it seems significantly worse and so I am back to using Australian. The US keyboard duplicates words and even entire sentences often; frequently drops words; and seems incapable of doing end punctuation anymore. If I say "period" it types out the word. Sigh.
Yes, please! Anyone with this issue please submit a support request. My talk to text is all but useless at this point and when I contacted support about it a month ago, I figured it would be a well-known issue and he would have no problem understanding what I was talking about but the guy literally told me that nobody else has had any issues with it. Then I looked it up myself and lo and behold. Many people had reported issues. Obviously the guy just straight up lied to me. Please submit support tickets for anything related to voice to text!!
Hi chowda169,
Thank you for clarifying. Upon further review, we recommend for you to contact Apple Support. They can investigate this further for you. Here's the link to contact them: Get Support
Best regards.
If you call tech support services. they can walk you through the steps to fix it.
I can’t remember all the steps.
The steps i can remember where to turn off
AUTO beta updates.
turn off dictation for 20 seconds, turn it back on turn off punctuations to for 20 seconds and turn it back on. Turn the phone off turn it back on. Then Reset Siri. then turn off phone and turn it back on.
I might have missed a step. If I did I’m sorry.
Like the original poster I can still voice to text it's just messed up
One tip for those people in which voice to text is not working at all: I have found that if there are too many apps open in the background Siri will not work. Try going in and closing most of your apps and see if that fixes the problem with dictation and voice commands not working at all.
Try reinstalling the keyboard, worked for me.
