IOS & MacOS dictation is bad and sometimes unusable

Even latest devices like iPhone 15 Pro Max & MacBook Pro M1 have issues with the dictation. And I'm using dictation for different languages but primary with English.

It often confuses words, sometimes completely writes unusable sentences and sometimes cannot even recognize some words. I have both iOS and android devices. And unfortunately, for now, Google dictation works much more smoothly and more precise. There are a lot of improvements needs to be done. I'm really hoping that Apple would improve its dictation in the future.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Thank you, sir. But unfortunately, this is not the case. I'm not connected to any external sources and my mics are perfectly fine. It just by comparison with Google's transcript, Apple's one perform less accurate on average. And I observed it many times and even confirmed this with my friend's devices (who owns both Android plus Apple).

But thank you for trying to help!
