Dictation: All Caps issue

I'm having an issue with voice dictation and trying to capitalize an entire phrase where every letter in every word within that phrase is uppercase. I'm using the command "All caps on...[phrase]" but when I do that it inserts the word "ON" and only uses uppercase letters for the o and n in the word ON like this "ON...[phrase]". None of the following text is uppercase. I'm using iOS 18.4.1 on an iPhone 13 Max. Am I missing something? Thanks

I think you only need to say "All Caps" and then everything after that will be in all caps.

Note, this is why you get the word "on" to be in all caps, because it follows the command "all caps" which indicates that everything after that command should be in all caps.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Pete. Unfortunately this is not the issue I have. From what I am currently encountering, All Caps, is the command that applies uppercase to a single word at a time. However, I am wanting a string of several words or an entire sentence to all be written with uppercase letters.

For example, in order to write "THIS IS A TEST." entirely uppercase, I currently have to accomplish this by saying the following:

"[All Caps] THIS [All Caps] IS [All Caps] A [All Caps] TEST [period]"

Apple Support lists the command, "All Caps on" as a better way to accomplish this, however, it not working for me. Found here: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/commands-for-dictating-text-iph3bf19d7b9/ios

It happens to me too, using Voice Control in my case. I reported it a couple times, but don't know how likely it is to be fixed. I'd report it just in case.
