Improve speech to text

Is there a way to “customize” iOS transcription to my voice?

Is there a way to set guidelines to improve results?

I rely on speech to text on all my devices owing to physical restrictions with my typing hand. I am spending cognitive band with repeatedly correcting speech to text errors. Often, I lose the thread, my temper or both.

I’m happy to purchase a superior app, but I don’t want to turn through dozens and dozens. It would be awesome if Apple renewed its commitment to the quality of speech to text!

Any hints, tips, or at recommendations?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17

Hi CBColem

Re: Improve speech to text

Seems it takes patience to master any new skill. Am grateful that Apple documents and shares the way it's software is set-up, and how to work with it in the way it is set up to work.

Eg: See how to: Set up mobility-related accessibility features on iPhone - Apple Support

(NB; Includes how to set up Voice Control)

If using Dictation doesn't give you the control you need, you may want to try setting up Voice Control.

to interact with iPhone. You can control iPhone with just your voice. Speak commands to perform gestures,

interact with screen elements, dictate and edit text, and more.

Check out the video: How to use dictation and edit text with Voice Control on your iPhone

and

All the best :-)
