Speech recognition API in Safari is slow on iPhone 14

Hi,

We have recently noticed that the speech recognition API in Safari is extremely slow and inaccurate, specifically on iPhone 14 with iOS 16.1.1 … but works fine on iPhone 12 with the same iOS 16.1.1.

Does anybody else run into the same issue or have any suggestions?

Hello, we have the same experience like you. For example, this demopage:

We have tested it on iPhone 12,13 (even iPhone 7s) - it works very well... On iPhone 14 the recognition is not usable at all. It recognizes several words, but it works way more worse than older iPhones.
