I think my wife uses dictation a fair amount. I almost never use it.
The stock IOS keyboard is serviceable. Better than nothing for sure. I also tried Gboard which is Googles version. It may have one or two enhancements over the IOS, but I don't know that it's worth using over the stock keyboard.

I use voice to text quite a bit and sometimes I’m thinking I’m having a stroke, because what I say and what the text says are two different things.

One thing I’ve done is use the shortcuts for the iPhone. I consistently misspell certain words, and it auto corrects to the word I want.
Yes, the dictation is often great, but sometimes way off. I think there is a way via the settings menu to "train" the dictation. They give you several phrases/sentences to say, and I think there may be more that you can do to train in after that, but I haven't tried to go through it.
