Too often my iPad dictation software changes words or blocks of text to gibberish after save. How can I stop this?

Hello,


Lets try and rule out something. If you go into Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement. Are any of the gibberish words listed? If so then delete them and dictation should work like it should.
