This problem was reported by iPhone users who posted videos on social media, showing how the dictation feature generates this erroneous suggestion before it is automatically corrected.

The company has acknowledged that its voice recognition model has issues related to crucial phonetic matches.

Is it an Apple error?

In response to the situation, Apple issued a statement informing that it is implementing a solution to correct the error detected in the dictation feature.

The company acknowledged that the problem may not be limited to the word “racist,” but that other terms containing the consonant ‘R’ are also being affected by this issue. However, some media outlets, such as the Associated Press, noted that they were unable to reproduce the problem a day after its detection.

In a different context, Apple has announced a significant investment of over $500 billion and the creation of 20,000 jobs in the United States over the next four years. This includes the construction of a new factory in Texas, reflecting the company’s commitment to the growth of its U.S. operations.
