Text not inserting

Dictation finishes but nothing appears in the target app.

Steps

  1. 1

    Mac: System Settings → Privacy → Accessibility → FlyType ON. Re-add if recently rebuilt app.

  2. 2

    Settings → Paste method: try Accessibility vs Clipboard vs Auto.

  3. 3

    Click the target text field before holding hotkey — focus matters.

  4. 4

    Windows: run target app non-elevated or FlyType as admin for UIA.

  5. 5

    Mobile: switch to FlyType keyboard; plain apps may block paste — copy from HUD manually.

  6. 6

    Check HUD shows final text — if empty, see Microphone / cloud engine articles.

Common mistakes

  • Virtual machines and RDP often block injection — paste manually.
  • Electron apps sometimes need Clipboard paste method.
