Voiceover incorrectly labeling words as misspelled

Hi there,
I don’t know if anyone has been recently encountering the bug where Voiceover incorrectly labels words as misspelled, despite of the words being properly written. I face this issue with both English and German; both spoken at a professional level, by the way. The issue started occurring with the iOS 17.2 update. The device being used is an iPhone 14 Pro.
As an example, today I wrote the word “strange” in a sentence and Voiceover said misspelled right after. Turning Voiceover off and on seems to be fixing it; however, it’s really frustrating. I’m reporting the bug to Apple accessibility team either way.

My native language is Norwegian and I like to believe that my English is also pretty good.
When I write English I switch keyboard language to UK English and I've noticed that VoiceOver incorrectly announce some words as misspelled.
I don't see the same behavior when typing Norwegian with keyboard set to Norwegian.
