Your dictation finishes and the same text lands twice in a row. This is a confirmed bug on Windows, not a setting you’ve got wrong. We’re working on it. What follows is how to stop it happening to you in the meantime.

​
Work around it now

The most reliable option, and it costs one keystroke.
1

Turn off automatic pasting

Settings → Preferences under App → Clipboard, then switch off Automatic pasting.
2

Keep the text on the clipboard

Switch on Keep transcription in clipboard in the same section so your dictated text stays there after each take.
3

Paste with Ctrl+V

Once, where you want it.

Help us fix it

If you’re hitting this, a debug log is genuinely valuable — it records the paste path taken and how many times it ran, which is what separates a duplicated keystroke from a duplicated transcription. How to send us a debug log Tell us as well:
  • Your Windows version, and whether the target app runs as administrator.
  • The exact hotkey you use, and whether Activation Mode is tap or hold.
  • Whether it happens in every application or only some.

FAQ

Check your history. If the entry appears once but the text landed twice, the paste ran twice. If there are two entries, the dictation itself ran twice — which usually means the hotkey fired twice, and changing it is the fix.
We’ve only had it reported on Windows. If you’re seeing it elsewhere, please tell us — that would change what we’re looking at.
