Article Summary

Issue: 

An ellipsis (...) appears in my finalized transcript after the dictation ends.

The ellipsis should not be part of your finalized transcript, but there are a few things that cause it to remain, such as:

  • Tapping on a new form field or text area while dictation is in progress
  • Using the Save or Discard button on the PointCare application while dictation is in progress 
  • Rotating the device screen from portrait to landscape view (or vice versa) while dictation is in progress

What to do:

  • Always end your dictation by tapping the microphone button on the keyboard.
  • Do not tap buttons in another application or into a new form field or text area while Mobile Voice is recording.
  • Hold your mobile device at a consistent angle while recording your dictation.
