Description kitsuneking9 2022-05-03 02:59:58 UTC

SUMMARY
For sometime now I have been unable to use the Remote input feature of KDE connect in conjunction Google voice typing from my phone. In the past this was a reliable method of speech to text for Linux so that the impaired could write documents  without difficultly. Currently any attempt to do so appears to simply never be transmitted to the PC other forms of Remote input (remote mouse and typing via the standard phone keyboard) appear to function normally


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Install  and  pair KDE connect on a PC and Android phone.
2. Open anything that can accept text on a pc  and switch to  Google voice typing inside of remote input on the KDE connect  Android  app.
3. Speak to the phone with a test phrase of your choice  

OBSERVED RESULT

Google Voice typing appears to function yet the spoken phrase does not  appear on the pc.

EXPECTED RESULT
 the spoken phrase does not  appear on the pc.

my apologies i ment for  EXPECTED RESULT to say  the spoken phrase  appears on the pc tho i suppose this shows why this is a problem

Does the "compose send" feature work for you? (KDE Connect app -> Remote input -> Click the icon with a pencil -> Use voice typing -> Click icon to send the text buffer to PC)

 Thank you using "compose send" does alleviate the issue quite a bit restoring my ability to dictate on  an X 11 session and on Windows. The icon the is a bit difficult to see due to its size hence why I never noticed it before but it is functional. However it is worth noting using "compose send" as a workaround does not appear to function under a Wayland session demonstrating issues similar to those first reported after hitting send. This is potentially problematic for the future

Thanks.

For the Wayland issue, maybe you can see also Bug 444583 and Bug 448604, and file a new bug if needed.
