- What it is
- A blog post dated June 22, 2026, written after the first iOS 27 developer beta, that gives the Settings path for the Advanced Dictation Preview switch and reports what the author heard when it was on.
- How much weight it carries
- An individual author's account of a beta build, not Apple documentation. The switch name and location may change before or after iOS 27 ships, so check the current Keyboard settings.
