Since the latest iOS update, when I try and text someone, Voice Over reads my message but repeats the first couple of words before finishing the message.
I don't think it does that on my twin brother's iPhone although he has the six and I have the five S.
Is it just me or are others also having this behavior take place?
thanks!

when texting voice over repeats first couple of words ?
There is a notable voiceOver bugs to the current iOS version but...
How do you enter the text on the message app?
I usualy dictate.

Dictation
Exactly the issue in later iOS is
When dictate on the text field voiceOver will repeat some part of the text not the intire text that you have dictated.
If you type won't see this issue.
Not just the Message app
This happens practically anywhere I use Dictation to enter text on my iPhone 6.
Others have mentioned it happening to them too. You are not alone.
Dictation Workaround
I found this to happen too. However after doing some testing it does not seem to happen on native iPhone apps. Like imessage and pages. It's not bad on Microsoft Word. But on others it's really terrible. I suspect it has to do with how updated The app is. Try to switch to native apple apps as a workaround.
