Hello folks. Can anyone help advise on this weird problem. I cannot open voice-to-text in Obsidian mobile when I'm using SwiftKey.
When I first open Obsidian, voice-to-text will open. If I then try to open it again, it wont open. It opens then immediately closes again and will not open at all after that. It's possible it is opening 'underneath' SwiftKey, or even underneath Obsidian. I know that sounds mad but it gives this impression.
Ive done the following:
- Checked all permissions - in microphone, in apps
- Cleared cache on both apps
- Uninstalled/reinstalled both apps
- Cleared all data in Obsidian
- Tested voice-to-text with Gboard - works as normal
- Tested SwiftKey voice-to-text in other situations - works as normal
My android is a Redmi note 10 pro. voice-to-text used to work fine with SwiftKey. Suddenly, it stopped working.
Forcing me to keep updating my OS version, even though it probably isnt that necessary (yes like Windows). Ok there will be perks and nominal security/privacy issues but not sufficient to make me have to replace all my usual software for versions with huge bloat and zero improvement.
The quality of build and user experience are great and def better than even top end Windows machines, but really, is that the deal maker? (I use both Mac and PC units every day.) If you look after a MBPro it will last 20+ years, but the constant 'you cant update something bc your OS is really old (High Sierra in this case) becomes a total PITA, along with battery death etc. My PCs also last a very long time and are very reliable. If they do break they are usually easier to sort out (and much cheaper).
Genius bar is a joke. As a pretty mid range tech person I actually repaired/reinstalled a Yosemite machine myself rather than wait in excess of 14 days to get any help from them and then be charged an arm and a leg. Google was my friend. Cost? Nothing. I got a battery replacement for an old mac laptop from an independent good rep company, cost was about 25% of what Genius bar would have charged.
My next laptop will probably be a Dell or System 76 Linux. Just to experience a fancy Linux build in a posh box.
