Dettivo

§ Troubleshooting

Text copied but not pasted

Requires permission

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

  1. 01

    Check Accessibility

    Settings › Permissions → Accessibility row. If not granted, Open Settings and add Dettivo.

    Settings › Permissions

  2. 02

    Check the field type

    Is it a password field? Dettivo refuses insertion. The transcript is dropped (not stored on clipboard) for security.

  3. 03

    Try clipboard fallback

    If clipboard fallback ran, the transcript is on your pasteboard. Paste manually.

  4. 04

    Try Insert from Quick Access

    Open Quick Access, pick the transcript, press Return. Insertion is retried with the freshly-focused app.
