When using voice dictation in English, saying "twenty" produces the written text "twenty" (versus "20").
On my iPhone 12 Pro iOS 18.2.1 I have few languages with Dictation enabled.
- English (India)
- English (UK)
- Hindi
All of them produce the number '20' when dictated as 'Twenty' (English India), Twenty (English UK), "bees" in Hindi
Siri can learn your preferences over time based on your interactions, including the types of input you use. When you type something and need to correct it (such as switching from a numeral to a letter), Siri can adapt its predictions for future entries, improving accuracy based on the patterns you establish. Repeated corrections—such as backspacing and entering the correct characters—help Siri understand your preferences more effectively, potentially making it more responsive to your needs as you use it. However, this learning process is gradual, and it may not always be perfect right away, especially if you use different types of input or make significant changes in behavior.
Try this...
Go to Settings > General > Language & Region.
Ensure that the Region matches the one where you want the dictation behavior to align (for example, the US or UK for English).
Under Preferred Language Order, ensure English is set as the primary language if you're primarily using it.
