§ Troubleshooting
Text copied but not pasted
Three causes, ranked: Accessibility permission missing, the target field is secure (password), or the app refuses synthetic keystrokes. Dettivo falls back to clipboard in cases two and three, the transcript is on your pasteboard.
Who this is for
Anyone whose dictation runs cleanly (mic level, no error) but the focused app does not receive text.
Fix path
- 01
Check Accessibility
Settings › Permissions → Accessibility row. If not granted, Open Settings and add Dettivo.
Settings › Permissions
- 02
Check the field type
Is it a password field? Dettivo refuses insertion. The transcript is dropped (not stored on clipboard) for security.
- 03
Try clipboard fallback
If clipboard fallback ran, the transcript is on your pasteboard. Paste manually.
- 04
Try Insert from Quick Access
Open Quick Access, pick the transcript, press Return. Insertion is retried with the freshly-focused app.
