Siri stops dictation immediately upon a pause in Safari- same old problem people have been complaining about

this is the same problem everyone I know who has an iPhone complains about. Maybe we should give up and go over to DROIDS as they seem to able to solve this problem. FYI, as a linguist I can tell you that it is not normal in human speech to speak completely fluent, without pauses. It’s ridiculous. Here’s a post I copied that says it all:

Siri dictation stops immediately upon a pause in Safari

This question was asked a couple of months ago, but there was never a solution that worked. Asking again…


When using Siri dictation in Safari (iPhone X), even a slight pause turns dictation off. To duplicate the problem, place your cursor in the address bar hit, the microphone button, then begin speaking search keywords with short pauses between them.


This was not an issue before iOS 15. And still seems to only apply to Safari. Please help. It makes safari almost unusable with voice…


Thank you!

Hello pcorreira,


If you're having issues using Dictation with Safari on your iPhone, then we'd recommend taking these related steps to try and solve the issue:


  1. Make sure the iPhone is completely up to date for the latest fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad
  2. Confirm Time & Date are correct in Settings > General > Time & Date
  3. Go to Settings > Siri & Search > then Delete Siri & Dictation History
  4. Turn off Siri in Settings > Siri & Search
  5. Restart your iPhone
  6. Then turn Siri back on in Settings > Siri & Search
  7. Test out the issue in the Safari app


Should the issue continue to occur, then it would be best to contact Apple Support directly: Contact Apple Support


They'll need to take it from here.


Take care.
