And why you?
A weird Apple dictation bug that has persisted over multiple releases:
I say something like "NYU."
The dictation software writes, "and why you."
OK, understandable. But it also has another reading "in mind," and when I tap that area, I am helpfully offered the option of choosing "NYU."
Great. Except when I chose it, I get "and why NYU." The software clearly "understood" "NYU" as an alternative to the whole phrase "and why you." But over a number of iPhone OS releases, it has continued to incorrectly substitute the alternative for only the last word of the phrase!
I can understand this bug getting released into production. But I would expect it to be fixed in about a week or so. How in the world has it persisted for months?!
