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.

This started after last nights update 17.4. Idk why they do updates knowing things that people use daily won’t work. This is upsetting to me in alot of ways. Being disabled dictation is sometimes the only way I can talk to people.
interestingly enough, the voice to text actually seems to make the mistake of reversing the intention of your statement so, for example, if I used voice to text to say it's a sunny day outside so I'm going to go to the park the comment will come through to say it's a sunny day outside, so I'm not going to the park. somehow it misinterprets what you're saying to convey the exact opposite message if you mean to say yes, I am doing this. Your reply will be something the exact opposite and the person you are sending the text you will think you're not going to do it, but that's not what you meant to say the voice to text just screwed it up, they completely reverse the meaning and intention of your comment or text because the voice to text is so horrible. It actually gets it 180° wrong and reverses the intention of your state statement so really when you use voice to text you can be sure that you're going to say exactly the wrong thing or make the person angry or completely confused.
I have always had a Samsung galaxy. This past fall I switcted to an iPhone. I think Samsung is superior, but I have gotten used to the iPhone. The dictation though is absolutely terrible on the iPhone and it may be a dealbreaker for me and I may have to switch back. I rely on it to much. Really not sure how it could be so bad. There are other things that I just shake my head, such as not being able to place an app anywhere on the screen that you want but I can deal with that. Or having to Hold my finger on a spot to get the cursor to go there. So dumb.

Has anyone considered that this is not a mistake? I noticed that if I’m on Facebook or YouTube the efficiency of the voice to text decreases exponentially. I think that they don’t want you to write certain words, so the spellcheck just suggest words that don’t even exist. I don’t think it’s as innocent as everyone seems to think it is. Apple is very smart, and these things are done for a reason.
Why would Apple care what you post on Facebook? Are you suggesting that Apple and Meta are somehow in league with each other to censor you? It is, if nothing else, an amusing idea.

No fix as of yet. I had support take a look and they couldn't find anything wrong other than say the voice recognition is "not performing well".
The original topic of this post was focused on voice to text accuracy. I think the other issues should be started in new threads.
thank you! This works! I've been trying for 2 days to figure out how to fix this.
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!!!
I’ve had a similar issue for months until today with iOS 17.4 update. Now zero dictation.
Tried all solutions posted here... none worked. BUT turning bluetooth off then on again did work for me! Good luck!
This was actually not my final submission. I edited my text substantially, and yet this is what was submitted. I give up.
I thought it was just me. Only happening to me because I have issues all the time of all these different things.
WOW !!! I can’t believe that this really worked. I have been so frustrated with this problem and now it’s gone.
YES! mine duplicates whole sentences too - or suddenly does all caps.
Hi chowda169,
