Windows 10: Dictation or Speech in Windows 11, it just runs on and then stops!

Hello...my question has to do with the voice dictation app. I saw a question that was similar to mine and I was going to write that person and ask what the final resolution was if there was any but I couldn't reach them or it wouldn't allow me to send anything. So anyway....I turned the app on and followed all the steps to get it up and running but when I am dictating the program does not seem to jump to the next line or is this how it works until it's complete and then formats itself to the page? Also, why does it appear to stop frequently and I have to stop and turn it back on? I am trying

Windows Speech Recognition/Dictation

When using speech recognition/dictation, it turns off (stops listening), every time I start a new line or new paragraph. In other words, when your trying to dictate a document, it stops listening (shuts off) every time you start a new line or new paragraph.
Then, you have to click on the microphone again to get it started. This makes it virtually unusable. Any suggestions?

 

Dictation - Random Capitilization

Hi TFLJ,

It's possible that Dictation listens and analyzes your words in phrases or context clues. It is important to state the word clearly.

By the way, since when did this behavior start? Have you made any changes or installed any updates on your computer before this issue?

In order for us to sort this out, I suggest setting the Dictation to make all the letters in a word lowercase. Once this is enabled, try dictating again and see if it still randomly capitalizes letters or words.

If the issue persists, then it is best that you train again your PC to recognize your speech. Follow these steps:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Click Ease of Access > Speech Recognition.
3. Under Configure your Speech Recognition experience, click the link Train your computer to better understand you option.
4. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

Please let me know the result.

Regards.
