Dictation - Speech to text 4+

Great, but far from perfect. UPDATE: Perfect for my needs :)

I cannot understand why, but trying to give feedback just brings me to the app itself. Since I cannot se how to give feedback directly, I have to do it here.

The text size selected in the settings is not in effect when using the app after clearing the text. Even though I selected size 32, it will use size 12 after clearing the text.

For an app costing 10 us dollar per year I am surprised to see it is not able override the sleep settings of the phone. I also am surprised it does not have the option of keeping the microphone on permanently.

UPDATE:
Thanks a lot to the app developer for replying really fast :)
And many thanks for bug fix and explaining that sleep actually is inhibited during dictation. I guess I was misled by the fact that the mic is turned off after 45 second of no speech.

My rationale for wanting the option of setting the mic to stay activated during no speech, is I use the app for a live transcription. Since there often will be pauses of several minutes, I now have to hit the mic button quite often in order to follow sporadic conversation. Additionally, while doing dictation, I often have long pauses, and find it distracting to reactivate the mic during sessions.
Based on the above, my wish list still contains being able to force the mic permanently on :)

UPDATE 2:
Dictating is not blocking sleep mode on my phone. My phone goes to sleep while I am dictating through handsfree. And when using the internal mic.

UPDATE 3:
Many thanks for suggestion which solved the sleep issue! My iPhone X was iOS 12.4-beta. Now I have quit the beta program, but iOS still is 12.4. Now sleep blocking is working correctly. :)
As for my wish to have an option of locking the mic permanently on (or at least 15 - 30 minutes), it still is extremely important to me.

UPDATE:
Tanks a lot for implementing a "Disable silence timeout" option in version 1.996. Now I am as happy as can be :)

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review. The text size bug is fixed in V1.993 which came out today. We are modifying sleep setting, but we do it only during dictation. Otherwise the danger of draining your device just because you left it with "Dictate" in foreground is too high. The microphone has to be controlled by the user, i.e. record button. We could do otherwise, but we don't see benefit of doing so, especially with respect to manually editing text. UPDATE: We have re-checked our code concerning disabling sleep mode and it looks correct. Furthermore we made a test on an iPhone SE under iOS 12.3 and it took a 10 minute recording without going to sleep... Do you have special settings in restrictions or something configured besides 'Standard' ? Most customers don't seem to have problems with that. Anyhow we would like to investigate that. What device and what iOS are you running ? EDIT: In V1.996 we have implemented the "Disable silence timeout". It does what you suggested for live transcription. You can enable it in the setup screen of the app !
