Apple to fix iPhone dictation glitch that suggests replacing the word ‘racist’ with ‘Trump’
苹果将修复 iPhone 语音输入错误，该错误建议将“racist”一词替换为“Trump”
Apple is fixing a bug within the dictation feature on some iPhones that briefly suggests the word “Trump” when a word with an “r” consonant is spoken, including “racist.”
苹果正在修复一些 iPhone 上语音输入功能中的一个 bug，当说出包含“r”辅音的单词时，包括“racist”，会短暂显示单词“Trump”。
The company is responding to the controversy after some iPhone owners posted videos on social media this week to detail how the glitch works.
该公司在部分 iPhone 用户本周在社交媒体上发布视频详细说明故障如何工作时，对此争议做出了回应。
When users activated the dictation feature and said the word “racist,” the word “Trump” appears in the text window before quickly being replaced by the correct word, according to various videos posted online.
当用户激活语音输入功能并说出“racist”一词时，文本窗口中会先出现“Trump”，随后迅速被正确单词替换，根据网上发布的各种视频显示。
“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation and we are rolling out a fix today,” Apple said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
我们了解到语音识别模型存在一个问题，该模型为语音输入提供支持，我们今天正在推出修复方案，苹果公司在周三向美联社发布的声明中表示。
The company said that the speech recognition models that power the voice-to-text feature might show words with some phonetic overlap.
公司表示，驱动语音转文字功能的语音识别模型可能会显示一些具有音韵重叠的单词。
It also said that other words that have an “r” consonant were also erroneously triggering the bug. The Associated Press could not duplicate the problem on Wednesday, a day after it emerged.
它还说，其他含有“r”辅音的单词也被错误地触发了这个漏洞。美联社在问题出现后的第二天，即周三，无法复制这个问题。
This week the company announced a plan to invest more than $500 billion and hire 20,000 people in the United States over the next four years as well as build a new factory in Texas, amid Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on imports. Separately, Apple shareholders rebuffed an attempt to pressure the company into joining Trump’s push to scrub corporate programs designed to diversify its workforce.
本周，公司在特朗普威胁对进口商品征收关税的背景下，宣布了一项计划，在未来四年内投资超过 5000 亿美元，并在美国雇佣 2 万人，同时在德克萨斯州建设一座新工厂。另外，苹果公司的股东们拒绝了试图施压公司加入特朗普推动的消除旨在多元化其工作团队的公司计划的企图。
