I don't think things have improved much on that front since Colin Hughes gave a run down on Voice Control's problems several years ago

Would be great if they could at least fix two major bugs:
* input simply fails (seemingly) randomly where it is supported and many apps from major vendors don't support dictation input at all (e.g. OneNote) (there should at least be a fallback (a la Dragon Dictate from decades ago) for those cases * capitalization is still random leaving you with many errors to correct
but Apple mostly seems to see accessibility as something to use to enable performative press releases not actual functionality...
I think the random capitalization problem has gotten much better in iOS 26, or one of its minor releases (I recall in the 26.0 beta it was still there). I would have sworn before they would never fix it…
The streaming dictation they also added in that release is also much appreciated although occasionally buggy.
