Describe the bug
I can't use dictation since version 1.6.7 – it consistently stops detecting microphone input after 3-4 seconds.
1.6.8 still has his bug. Only 1.6.6 works for me.
Model: doesn't seem to matter. Parakeet TDT v3 (Multilingual) and Cohere Transcribe both react the same way.
Affected app versions: 1.6.7 and 1.6.8.
Reproduction steps
- Press shortcut for dictation
- Start dictating – the waveform reacts and words appear in the preview box as intended
- After 3-4 seconds the waveform stops reacting, the preview box doesn't show any new words
- Finish dictation – only the words said during the first 3-4 seconds were captured.
Also model loading didn't affect to the cut off time:
- I set another model for the Voice Engine
- Pressed shortcut for dictation
- The preview box showed that the model was loading, but waveform reacted
- After 2-3 seconds the model was loaded
- Within 1 second the waveform stopped reacting – exactly the 3-4 seconds since dictation start. Model loading didn't affect this time.
Expected behavior
Expected to behave like 1.6.6 and earlier – the words to be captured for the whole duration of the dictation.
Actual behavior
It stops detecting the microphone input after 3-4 seconds.
