Voice to Text using contact info!

Every time I use voice to text to dictate messages, it keeps using names from my contacts to substitute words.


I do not want this feature.

When I say ‘right’ it will write ‘Wright’, a name in my contacts.


When I see ‘ready’ it will write ‘Reddy’, another name in my contacts.


Looking through this community, it appears that people have been struggling with this issue for literally years, and Apple still hasn’t solved the problem:

^ This thread was closed, and it still hasn’t been resolved.


Please, Apple, give us the ability to switch off this feature. I do not need my iPhone searching through my contacts when I am dictating.


Please fix this annoyance once and for all. 🙏

Relievo ~ Although Apple administers these user-to-user communities, that doesn't include reading each of thousands of daily posts for possible requests. However, you can ask Apple here:
