Voice-to-Text UI – Accidental Discards & Confirmed Input Loss

Summary

There are two major issues affecting the voice-to-text user experience:


1. UI Button Placement – Risk of Accidental Discards

When voice dictation is active, the “cancel” (X) button appears directly under the microphone icon — where fingers or cursors naturally rest. This causes many users to accidentally discard dictated content, especially on touchpads or phones.

Suggestion:

  • Move the confirm (✓) button to the central/main position
  • Relocate the cancel (X) button to a less dominant spot
  • Or add a discard confirmation

2. Data Loss – Confirmed Text Still Occasionally Disappears

Sometimes, even after pressing the ✓ button, the dictated text fails to appear in the input field and gets silently lost.

Possible causes:

  • Backend processing delay or glitch
  • Failure to commit recognized text

Suggestion:
Ensure that confirmed content is reliably saved/displayed regardless of network or backend state.


Improving these two issues will significantly enhance the experience of users who depend on voice input for long-form or serious use.
