    Windows dictation tool sometimes erases previously dictated text.


    When dictating in Windows Dictation Tool, there is a dotted line that appears under the words that are being processed and adjusted. Normally that dotted line disappears promptly, letting you know it is safe to speak for the next phrase. However I am daily experiencing a glitch where the tool gets stuck and that dotted line never goes away. From then on any words you say will be overwritten by the next phrase you say, so you can no longer dictate more than a very short phrase without restarting the tool. It seems to be the exact same issue that was described here: https://answers.microsoft.com

    Hi, assuming this is supported as such, you need to specifically download the speech pack as well.
