Windows 10: Diarium dictation does not work

I just bought Diarium Premium because the description said it handles audio dictation. However, when I click the Diarium microphone icon for dictation, it just says 'Listening....' and nothing happens when I talk into my microphone. Using the same microphone, I can create, save, and playback an audio file in Diarium, so I know my microphone is working properly. I'm running Diarium on Windows 10 desktop and plugging my mic into the front mic jack of my computer. My mic works on other audio apps like Windows Voice Recorder and the audio file part of Diarium. But Diarium dictation does not work. Can you suggest something to make it work. Otherwise, how do I get a refund on my purchase of Diarium? As I said, dictation was the main reason I bought it, and if that doesn't work, I don't want it.

Thanks

:)

Diarium App Synching

Hi Aleya,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

What are you trying to sync between Diarium application and OneDrive?

Please make sure you are using the same Microsoft Account in OneDrive/Google Drive as well as in Diarium application.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to run the
Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store and check if this helps.

If you are still facing the same issue, then I would suggest you to contact Diarium Application manufacture from the section
Publisher Info from
Diarium — Private Diary / Daily Journal and contact the Application manufacturer to get the issue resolved.

Hope it helps.
