Dictation in German has a couple of persistent bugs.
-
Saying "Anführungszeichen" inserts punctuation AND writes out the word: When dictating the word „Anführungszeichen" in German, the app both inserts quotation marks AND writes out the word literally. Expected: either insert the punctuation OR write the word – not both.
-
Manual quotation mark followed by automatic blank key during dictation.
-
Compound words incorrectly split into separate words: Compound words are either cohesive or hyphenated, the english spelling with two separate words is simply wrong!)
-
Spaces incorrectly added around hyphens in compound words: German dictation adds spaces before and after hyphens. In German orthography, spaces around hyphens are only correct for em dashes (Gedankenstrich), never for regular hyphens in compound words.
