Apple dictation randomly deletes text

I use Apple dictation on my cell phone and on my laptop. In both situations it will randomly decide to delete a bunch of my dictated text before I can turn it off. This usually occurs, annoyingly, at the end of a rather large chunk of text that I have, up to that point, successfully dictated. And then boom it deletes half to all of the text. Is this happening to anybody? Does anybody know a fixed that works for both the iPhone and your Mac laptop?

Hello JZents13,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Have you restarted your devices since you first noticed this? Even though this is a simple step it may help:


"Restart your Mac

  • On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Restart.
  • If you don’t want app windows that are open to reopen when your Mac restarts, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”"


More details can be found here: Shut down or restart your Mac


If the behavior persists, reach out to Apple directly using: Apple Support They'd be the best hands possible to take a deeper look at this with you.


Cheers!
