Microsoft voice access and dictation spelling mistakes

i'm having difficulty using Microsoft voice access or dictation as it continues to spell things incorrectly. It is not that it is choosing the wrong word, which does occur, and somewhat expected, but it will spell words probably like they sound, not as they are spelled. Ie. Bilateral was spelled bulateral which is not even a word or different was Differnt. This happens to many different words and is not consistent. Is there a way that it will write words that exist in the english language and not spell them as they may sound? Also, I am doing the typing in both edge and firefox.

Thank you so much for any assistance.

    Hello there,

    The dictation in Word does not have automatic correction in current version. The process of voice-to text recognition is already trying to reduce the error rate as much as possible, but it is still unavoidably affected by background noise and speaking accents.

    If you see a lot of incorrect words being output or missed words:

    Make sure you're on a fast and reliable internet connection.

    Avoid or eliminate background noise that may interfere with your voice.

    Try speaking more deliberately.

    Check to see if the microphone you are using needs to be upgraded.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
