What you are saying is true enough, but my Iphone seems to be picking up
extraneous sounds even when the dictation function isn’t enabled. It was quite
bazzarre as I was typing a text and all of a suddenly it inserted a line abut
an airplane crash. It took me several minutes to realise it had picked up words
from the TV.
I remember too last night that the new version of IOs allows you to use voice
commands to move to other apps, say “open e-mails” etc. without the need to
press the home button or enlist Siri’s help. So it is obviously listening. What
I need to to is to find a way to stop it listening when I am typing text.

Hi Alison: I also find this with voice dictation, I can be dictating something,
and if the radio is on in the background, it can pick up sound from that and I
will get some rather interesting results. Regarding voice dictation erroneously
turning on, it is possible to do this if you happen to press the dictation
button on the keyboard which is Just below the X on the keyboard I believe.

I now have my iphone working as it should although was confused initially when
I tried to tye a message and unwanted text about aeroplanes was coming up,
until I realised it was picking up the sound from the TV, even though I wasn’t
in dictation mode. I am obviously going to have to be more careful about the
environments I use when sending e-mails and texts, or is there a way to disable
this?
However, I did then remember hearing that I can now just give a voice command
to get my iPhone to open messages or podcasts etc., and this is quite nifty.
