Error handling message - "the pipeline does not support speech-to-text"

[kstuken]

Home Assistant Core Version

Describe the bug
I am getting regular error messages in the log (see below) from the iPad app. (Interestingly enough, not when using the iPhone app). Basically the error message is that "the pipeline does not support speech-to-text".

I am not using speech to text or voice assistance at all, have not even tinkered with it. Also, this is a relatively fresh install, set up about a month ago. I have been getting this message ever since I set up the system, ie on 2024.12 already.

To Reproduce
Have not yet figured out under what specific circumstances this occurs.

This is very similar to issue #3199, which was for an iPhone, though, and seems to have stopped eventually.
