there are multiple mics on the iPhone. The one up at the top is the one that dictation uses from my tests. Everyone try talking in the direction of where the volume and mute switch is and see if you get better results. But don't hold the phone close to your mouth. Around six inches away give or take a few inches.

There is no microphone on the long narrow side where the mute switch and volume buttons are. Not sure about the new 10 phones since I think they added a third microphone, but on the older phones the microphone is at the bottom left, the speaker is on the right, the lightning port is in the middle and the microphone is on the right.

Here's what I do to get pretty good dictation results. I hold the phone in front of me long ways and about six inches away from my mouth. I talk where the volume and mute switch is. From my results that's the mic dictation uses. I have really good results doing it this way.

    Yes, I am also having this issue as well. It is difficult to send
    a message to apple regarding this because you have no idea what to
    call it and not everyone who dictates is experiencing this. I am
    now using an iPhone 8 but I also started noticing this while using
    the 7. It’s weird but hopefully something can be done about it.
    Initially, I thought it was something wrong with my speaker so I
    took my 7 into the apple store and they said that there was
    something wrong with the speaker. Rather than paying to have it
    repaired, I chose to upgrade to the 8. To my surprise I started
    having the same issue. I also took the 8 in and have been told
    that the 8 is find and the hardware has no issues at all. If you
    ever get this resolved please share to the list so that the rest
    of us can get it worked out.

    I also have this problem. Another problem I have when I am
    dictating, is that sometimes it does put in a word that I didn’t
    even say. Or several words that I didn’t even say. When I read
    them it sounds correct pillow, so I don’t realize it. I wish they
    were actually figure out how to make dictation better like it used
    to be.

        Mary,

        One thing to keep in mind is that you could set up a keyboard
        shortcut for your email address. I have one setup for all my
        personal and my work email, I start all of them with a double
        e as in “ee” because not many words I can think off start with
        a double e, then I added an o for my outlook.com

        email address, a b for my business email address, a g for my

        I have definitely seen this happened, and it did not start
        with iOS 12, and it is inconsistent. That means it’s probably
        going to be hard to pin down on Apple side. Here’s wishing
        them good luck.

             Hello everyone,

            I wasn’t sure how else to title this message. I’ve got a
            strange issue going on. I wonder if anyone else has dealt
            with death, or Mike know if there’s anything I can do
            about it.

            Sometimes when dictating a message, or an email, when the
            text is read back to me, words will be pronounced wrong.
            Or incorrectly. For instance, when I dictated this subject
            line of this message, it read back to me after the
            dictation, then instead of issues, it said it’s use.

            However, when I read the message back Word for Word on my
            own, it was written correctly. Then it read it correctly.

            What could be going on? What could make this happen?

            No I do you have trouble with dictation. It doesn’t always
            dictate properly, and I tried to fix things. But it’s
            frustrating when I write something out, and then think
            there are errors that aren’t actually there. Any help with
            this would be very much appreciated.

            Thank you,
