Can't turn off automatic voice transcription in Contacts

When searching in contacts for a name, if I am speaking casually in the background the app automatically transcribes my words into the search frame and messes up my search. I can't figure out how to turn this off. I don't want to turn off dictation on keyboard, because I use it in other apps.

I am using IOS 18.4 on a iPhone 15 Pro.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Turn off auto typing with voice control turned on Trying this new voice control feature, I noticed that with the keyboard open my iPhone listens to conversations around me and starts typing them. This is very annoying as there’s no way of turning this off unless you turn off voice control entirely. Thus loosing some useful custom commands that I set up. By the way I’m not talking about the enable dictation setting under the keyboard tab, as even if you turn it off the iPhone types anything that it hears in the surroundings.
