I think that the iPhone uses the top mic for listening to what you dictate. I get much better and more accurate results when I speak into that part of the phone. And I notice that I get better results when I use the actual dictate button on the keyboard instead of the two finger double tap to start and restart dictation.

Hello Jim,

I hear the same kind of whooshing sound as you mentioned.

Now, as I said, I have no problems with the messaging app but I just tried to 
dictate text in the Notes app and the results were unbelievably atrocious.

Again, like you, I am using an 8 Plus.

Please let us know what happens after your experiment.

I look forward to your reply,

Mark

Hello, Mark, thanks for these observations and suggestions.
Interesting, when I use my Home Pod to dictate a message, the accuracy is 
almost 100%.
I have noticed on the iPhone 8 plus, during dictation, I am hearing a whooshing 
sound while dictating, but only in messages.
Maybe this has something to do with this refresh rate to which you are 
referring.
I had read on a forum somewhere, a possible solution.
First, disable dictation.
Then, completely disable Siri.
These must be disabled for 24 hours so that all of your voice data will be 
erased from Apple servers.
I am going to try this, since I am now obsessed by this highly strange and 
irritating situation.
Thanks.

Okay, I have an iPhone 8 Plus and cannot reproduce this dictation bug.  
Generally speaking, I use either my Apple AirPods or the inline EarPods that 
shipped with the phone, itself.

Here's the thing, though, I can kind of see how others are getting this 
dictation bug.  I think it has to do with the video refresh rate problem that I 
mentioned, a couple of days ago.  This refresh rate issue occurs more 
frequently when VoiceOver is enabled.

It's very difficult to explain because it has to do with a hiccup that takes 
place within nanno-seconds.  I remember that this kind of thing happened back 
in the early days of iPhone 6.

Just report your findings to Apple and, hopefully, they will correlate them and 
discern the problem.  I'm almost positive that the solution will have something 
to do with the various video display drivers on various models.

By the way, some non-VoiceOver users are reporting similar hick-ups at various 
times.  In fact, I had two sighted people call me, today, asking why there 
phones kind of stall, only for a split second, but something, nevertheless.

Hang in there and we'll all get this figured out.

Mark

I also have an iPhone 8 and I am experiencing the same problem. It is also 
adding words to the sentences that I have not spoken. I’m not sure what is 
causing this. I have had an iPhone 5 six and seven and have use cases on all of 
them and have never experienced this before. I have even taken it to the Apple 
store so that they could see if something was going wrong with the speaker and 
according to them the hardware with my phone is great.

When you use your iPhone, Are you dictating via the built-in microphone or do 
you use a headset?
Do you have a case on your iPhone?

Subject: Inaccurate Dictation, only in I-message

Hello, I am sure this has come up before, I have a Home Pod, other
iPads and iPhones associated with the same Apple ID, and they all do a
wonderful job with dictation in I-Message.
On the main iPhone 8 that I am using,  the dictation is 50% accurate,
completely unacceptable, on the Home Pod, it is nearly 100% accurate.
How the heck can I clear out whatever I-message is using, and start
fresh, it's the app that I use most frequently, and I would really
like to be able to count on its dictation capabilities.
Thanks for any suggestions.
