I’m from Italy and and I can confirm the issue above.

I always used dictation without any problem on earlier iOS versions, after upgrade to iOS 17, all symbols and paragraph commands not work anymore.

Funny thing is they are working OK if I switch to English.

Apple should fix the issue ASAP, it’s strange to me there’s no mentions about this bug (probably since it’s related to some languages only).

We are running a dictation app and we get hundreds of complaints about the screwed-up dictation commands. The problems first occurred in iOS17 and affect at least: Englisch(GB), French, German, Italiano, Spanish and Portuguese. Probably more languages, but we don't have complaints (yet?) about them.


The problem is also present on macOS Sonoma.


We have filed a bug reports FB13409834 and FB13409842, but nobody cares.


!!! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE WHOLE DICTATING WORLD !!!
