Hi sorry! yes! I do live in michigan, adding to the weirdness. I don’t think I have ever typed in that phrase though. Well, that I can remember anyway. It doesn’t put it in all caps, but it does use proper grammar, capitalizing the first letter of the sentence, the G in governor and W in Whitmer. I haven’t had it happen in a while but honestly if I’m not looking right at my phone while it’s typing, I would totally miss it.
Got a tip for us?

Wowwww. I never tried taking a SS. And I’m glad because it would freak me out if the picture wasn’t there! Wild. It’s weird that someone could screen record it but someone else couldn‘t SS it. Did you just have it happen once? Thats a complex sentence! This ***** evolving 😩. I haven’t found any answers but I also have not contacted apple support (I know, I know 😬). It’s truly baffling. And it’s extra baffling because there is NO info about this anywhere that I could find! Granted my search engine seems to get less impressive by the day (😐) but still. Something usually comes up when ya try to solve a problem like this. I cant believe there aren’t more people with issues like ours! I’ve run through possible scenarios in my head- an app that i downloaded? A file? A website? My crazy ex stalking me with some weird spyware that I know nothing about? Lol. Ughhhh. I am Thinking about getting a new phone anyway, but I’m curious if i’ll have the same issue on a new phone (probably?) What phone do yall have?
I'm digging out this 2 year old thread because I was wondering if anyone figured out why this is happening. For me that's still the weirdest Macrumors thread since I joined and it still comes to my mind from time to time... so, any news?
Same. This and the sizzling in neck one in Community. Need to know these things
I do not have any updates but I haven’t had it happen in a long while! Then again, I don’t always watch my screen when I use voice to text, so I’m not really sure. Maybe the bug has been fixed? Anyone else notice it’s been better??
What a strange, strange thing to do to someone’s phone. Seemingly politically-driven. Also it’s weird that it doesn’t seem to be wide-reaching. It seemed impossible for a while to find others with this issue. But maybe that’s due to it being a voice to text issue? I would love to find some sort of link that ties us together and explains why this happened to our phones. Not sure if that would be possible or not!
This has been such a strange few years and I feel like this creepiness kind of fits right into the mix somehow. Although it’s 0/10, would not recommend (lol), I feel a little honored being a part of one of the weirdest macrumors threads 😩😅😂 hahah. I’ll let y’all know if i notice it again!!
Sizzling in neck?? I need to explore these threads more! HahaSame. This and the sizzling in neck one in Community. Need to know these things

Not long after I made the original post, it just sort of stopped and I can no longer recreate it. It was odd as hell. I never did end up going to Apple to show them but kinda wish I had.
Hmmm... I'd wager a developer was fired and their latest commits rolled back?
Similar phenomenon happening often with my Galaxy phone. In the example I posted of the Facebook Marketplace message, the only sentence I actually said into the mic was the 1st one. The rest completely fabricated by an unknown source. This is an extremely benign example, but so far the only one I was actually able to take a screenshot of. Oftentimes it will make up long conversations but unrelated to the topic of the message I am trying to convey . Many of the phantom voice type occurances have been rather dark or strange. Where to hide dismembered body parts , demons taking over the country, spoiled food in Brittany Spears refrigerator, and sewers rats chewing thrpugh the Biden family chamber pot, are some topics that I can remember.
OK so i know this threat is super old BUT i have a samsung galaxy and have been having this issue! The sentences will do exactly what your does but its always some off the wall, offensive ****! This most recent time was this morning I was giving someone advise on addiction... The phone input "If you werent looking for free money, youd be more educated" LIKE WHAT. shots fired i feel offended because the night before I asked my husband how we can get alot of money LOL.
Something is def WIERD happening

YESSS !! I have a galaxy too and this same thing happens! My sister told me i should go get a new phone because mine is demonic. Its actually scary!
Man that is wild it’s happening to y’all too. Mine stopped not long after I created this thread and hasn’t happened since. I still wonder what it was.
Galaxy here as well and I would like to know what in the actual **** is going on!! This is unreal!! This is so scary like this is when I tried to recreate it the first one was talking about getting behind cover and the boys ***** someone up but it deleted it by itself. This is my first time using the voice dictation and so far, not good. All I know is I tested to see how accurate it was by saying "Peter Piper picked a peck of peppers" and then "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" after that it went mad. I'm wondering if those phrases in that order are some kind of code that regular people shouldn't know or there's some skynet stuff going on. I really don't know at this point but I don't like AI anymore (hopefully AI) 🤞
