Dictating to Agenda iOS - scrolling not happening

Support
1

What I did:
Opened an existing note. With cursor at the end of the text, I selected the dictation keyboard, and dictated some text.

What happened:
The note did not scroll and show the text as I was dictating. I can’t tell if the text was being entered in the note and not visible (because of lack of scrolling), or whether the dictation system only entered the text in the note once I touched the keyboard menu icon.

What I expected:
To be able to see the text as I dictate.

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):
latest Agenda, iOS 12

I did look into this at one point, and I thought it was working, but having just tested, it seems it is indeed not expanding the note to fit the new text until you stop. I will investigate. Thanks for reporting.

Hi,

I‘ve additionally discovered, that saying „next line“ (German: „neue Zeile“) jumps to the title instead of next line. Using diction is my preferred way, when using Agenda on a mobile phone.
With this bugs the diction is quite useless.
I‘d appreciate further investigation/fix.

Thank you in advance!

iOS 16.1.12
Agenda 16.1

Thanks, we’ll check that as well.

Still having problems with Agenda not scrolling when I dictate - so I can’t see what I’m dictating as it’s hidden!

(I don’t dictate often, but it’s very useful when I’ve only got access to my phone!)

The same goes for me.

We fixed this a year or two ago, and Apple broke it again. It is very difficult, because they don’t expose any public API to us. Last time we had to come up with a hack, and unfortunately the hack doesn’t work in the latest.

We have the same problem with spelling. Private APIs Apple doesn’t give us access to, which is why it is flaky on iPad.

It’s on my list. I’ll try to take a look for the next major update.
