Hi Sandra, I can't explain exactly why you are having such bad results, but one thing I can tell you is that those little sounds are SIRI writing your text as you dictate it. I have a 5S and apart from the much better responsiveness of SIRI when dictating, I found no differences between iOS 7 and 8.
As for your text getting Sent when you tapped Cancel I can only assume that maybe at the moment of your tap focus changed, I certainly have not ever experienced anything getting sent or processed when I tap cancel. There could of course be quite a difference in SIRI performance between Ireland and Canada and there are so many other variables. Maybe turn SIRI off and back on and also do a reboot of your phone to see if that will have any positive effect. Also, do you have any other keyboard languages installed? I have German installed and every so often after writing something on the German keyboard I forget to change it back to English and then when I dictate something all I get is complete gibberish because changing keyboard languages/layouts also causes dictation to work in that language. When I discovered this a couple of years ago I was of course super happy because it makes it so easy to just switch the keyboard to German and dictate in that language.

But this phone was working perfectly and 7.12 prior to the update.to remind people, the for S is supported in this update.I don't have a computer, are use my phone all my communication needs and this is a serious problem for me!
