Sorry I completely disagree with statements like "it causes problems when" etc. It's clear to me that certain individuals are not using it for when it is required.
It's best to use it only when you have too, not all the time. It is also best to enable it in your rotor so you can easily get to it when you need to turn it on or off. Finally, try using it for instance in an app like Telegram. Without it, the app is virtually useless, but with it, the app becomes far more accessible and you can perform functions easily. Statements like that it causes problems etc is, in my opinion, a very open one and it's important to actually only use it when you need to and to have it turned off for most other situations, not have it turned on all the time. This feature was never designed for that.

I have found it to do nothing but cause problems with apps and Safari. It may have a future but currently it really screws up the performance of apps and the Internet. I would definitely try turning it off completely from within voiceover/voice recognition settings. Image descriptions on the other hand are somewhat useful and don’t cause performance problems at all.
