Since the update to iOS 17 the voice dictation on my iPad 6th gen is very slow. It lags several sentences behind and even when I tap the microphone icon to stop it, it needs another five to ten seconds to finish the text. The longer the text, the longer the time to finish the text. All was fine before the update. Have you experienced the same?
But has the accuracy changed at all?
No, it is just incredibly slow. I am going to reset the iPad and set it up as a fresh device in a few days. I need the dictation function very often and the current situation is unbearable.
I wiped the iPad and set it up as a new device. Dictation was good for the first two times but now it is slow again. It is only the case for other languages than English (e.g. German and French). It seems to be a bug in iPad OS 17.
I found a thread on Reddit where many people have the same problem, although they refer only to typing on the keyboard. I have the same issue when I type on the keyboard. It is not only the lag when I dictate.
