Following videos posted online by multiple iPhone users that shows an apparent glitch in the smartphone’s dictation feature which briefly suggests the word “Trump” when it hears “racist,” Apple has reportedly announced it will start fixing the bug on Wednesday.

Videos showed that when the iPhone’s dictation feature is activated, and the word “racist” is said, the word “Trump” briefly appears before the correct word replaces it.

“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, the Associated Press reported.

Apple told the AP that other words with an “R” consonant have also erroneously triggered the glitch.
