Frequently Asked Questions
Dictate - Speech to Text
- I lost text or a recording. How can I recover it? Dictate includes a backup mechanism that is enabled by default (unless you have deactivated it). A backup is created each time you stop a recording by pressing "Stop" or when you close the keyboard after editing your text.
Up to 40 backups are stored. When this limit is reached, the oldest backup is automatically deleted to minimize storage usage. If you notice missing text, check the backup folder immediately to prevent older backups from being overwritten by new recordings.
How to access your backups:- Open the Dictate app and tap More → Open Backup Folder.
- The Files app will open at the corresponding location.
- Your backups are stored as plain text files.
- File names represent timestamps. Sort them by date to locate the correct version.
- You may rename, copy, move, or share the file as needed.

Why do I miss the loupe and add button on my display ?
Right at startup you need to scan the floor plane or wall you want to measure on. Once you have scanned enough area, the loupe and the add button will occur. Move around your camera slowly and ensure good lighting conditions. This will speed up the plane detection process.

Speed Limit Camera
-
Sometimes signs are missed or wrongly classified. Why ?
The app is based on neural net technology. In order to detect signs in many situations thousands of images have been learned into the neural net. Sometimes the images from the camera are confused with known signs. This is inherent to this technology. Although we are committed to decrease the error rate, neural nets are not an error-free technology.
