Dictation regularly adds extra space

I use Voice In on my laptap.

It has a very annoying habit of doing the following…

Whenever I start talking, it will put a space before the first word.

This is very annoying at the start of a sentence because I will now have an additional space I need to go back and delete.

But even more annoying is when I pause mid sentence, and then start talking again, when I do this it will often add 2 spaces for the moment that I paused.

Is this fixable?

Hi Jared,

This should not happen - we automatically adjust based on previous text before the cursor on all sites except Google Docs.

If you are using on GDocs, see Using Voice In for voice typing in Google Docs | Voice In Support

This also happens to me. How do I disable it from adding a space when I begin speaking?

@katy.martinez.cares Can you record your screen (you can use Loom or any other tool) and share the video? We can fix the issue once we are able to reproduce it.
