Solution, I think, to dictation randomly capitalizing words when using Messages

Like many people, I have been driven crazy by voice dictation in messages randomly capitalizing words in the middle of sentences where there is absolutely no reason for it to do so. For instance, a little while ago I dictated "I loved the music last night. It was a great dance and I had a great time." Dictation capitalized the word music and the word dance.


I fixed this by finding a five or six contacts that had those words as part of the contact name and changing them to be lowercase. I don't know that this is the fix for all instances of the random capitalization problem. As I see it Moore, I am going to keep going down this route.


Notice the word "more" the above paragraph. I'm going to see if "Moore' appears in my contacts and see if I can get rid of it. OK, I found one and changed it. Here we go: "as I see more I am going to keep going down this route."


Voila! Of course, this leaves me with the problem of that person's last name being misspelled and this capitalized in my contacts so it's not a great solution but I think I'd rather have that problem then to correct voice dictation.


I'd love to know if anybody else has had similar experiences.
