Dictation Text Not Appearing? Fix Windows Paste
A few windows turn the paste down. The text is kept on the clipboard so nothing is lost.
The app types into the window that had the cursor by pasting. Some windows reject a paste they did not expect: parts of remote desktop sessions, some terminals, and windows running with higher privileges than the app.
When that happens the app says so and leaves the text on the clipboard. Press Ctrl and V yourself and it goes in. The transcript is also in History, with a Copy button.
The privileges case
A window opened as an administrator will not take input from a program that was not. Starting Fuck You Flow as an administrator too puts them on the same footing.
