iOS 17: VoiceOver Pronounces only the last line Obtained through dictation when the text has more than one line

Hello dear ones, I hope and wish you all well.

After updating to iOS 17, I identified a small Bug that, although not serious, hinders a little in the use of dictation on the iPhone with Voiceover.

What happens is this: if we are dictating a text and it is composed of only one line, the text is read Completely. However, if the dictation generates a text with more than one line, only the last line is pronounced by VoiceOver after the operation is finished. In addition, this situation also causes the dictated lines not to be pronounced in the Mail app.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) Make sure that VoiceOver is enabled and that the focus is Inside the Desired text field;

2) Activate the dictation the way you prefer and say a small text. When you finish, you will notice that the text is completely read, you can also see that the text field only contains one written line;

3) Delete the contents of the text field and start dictation again, this time pronouncing a longer text. It will be possible to identify, after the end of the operation, that only the last written line will be pronounced, requiring that the text field be checked in order to know if the rest of the text was completely and correctly written.

If this problem can be fixed in future updates, it would be very useful for us users.

Thank you very much for your attention! I wish you a good job!

Sincerely,

Ricardo Brandão
