Cancel a recording by accident and the pill does not just vanish. It turns into a quiet line that lets you take it back.

​
What you see

  • Cancelled a recording: the pill says “Dismissed” with an Undo button.
  • Transcription failed: the pill says “Transcription failed” with a Try again button.
The pill stays for about 2.5 seconds. Hover over it and it stays open until you move away. Click the button and SpeakoFlow finishes the dictation from where it stopped: transcribing if needed, cleaning up if that shortcut was used, and pasting the result. If the pill disappears before you act, the dictation is still in History (on the sidebar). Dismissed recordings are kept there with a Recover button. Recovering from History transcribes and saves the result, but does not paste it.

​
What is not offered

A few situations do not show the Undo pill:
  • Very short recordings. Less than half a second of voice is almost always a hotkey pressed by mistake and cancelled on purpose. No pill, no History row.
  • Assistant and in-app destinations. Recovering pastes the text, which is the wrong destination for a question meant for the assistant or for a field inside SpeakoFlow itself.
  • X11 on Linux without layer shell. A clickable overlay on plain X11 would take keyboard focus from the app being dictated into, so the pill stays non-interactive there. History still keeps the recording.
