Dictation / German – Bugs

Dictation in German has a couple of persistent bugs.

  1. Saying "Anführungszeichen" inserts punctuation AND writes out the word: When dictating the word „Anführungszeichen" in German, the app both inserts quotation marks AND writes out the word literally. Expected: either insert the punctuation OR write the word – not both.

  2. Manual quotation mark followed by automatic blank key during dictation.

  3. Compound words incorrectly split into separate words: Compound words are either cohesive or hyphenated, the english spelling with two separate words is simply wrong!)

  4. Spaces incorrectly added around hyphens in compound words: German dictation adds spaces before and after hyphens. In German orthography, spaces around hyphens are only correct for em dashes (Gedankenstrich), never for regular hyphens in compound words.

Hi, I think this way isn’t the right one for bug reports. The proper way to report a bug is through Apple's Feedback Assistant: https://bugreport.apple.com/
