v. 1.20
There seem to be problems with this new version. Is it possible to revert to the previous version?
Until now, I could dictate into almost every application I had open. However, now I cannot dictate into the application. The text is translated or transcribed, but I have to manually paste it from the translation app into the window where I need it using the retype option (right click on the three dots).
The cursor is removed from the window I'm trying to dictate in. To insert the text, I have to click on that window again and use the retype function to enter the text that I've just dictated. So, the dictation function is working, but it isn't appearing where my cursor is. I have rebooted my computer. I have tried to restart every app to make sure that isn't a problem.
The previous version of Blabby worked perfectly in this regard.

Hey Thomas, thanks for reporting this. I just need some more info. Could you tell me whether you’re using the new toolbar or the old one? Also, were you using shortcut keys (Let me know your shortcut) or clicking on the toolbar? And which app were you trying to dictate in?

I'm using the standard interactive toolbar, the one with the small icons.
I am using EM Client email software, Pipedrive online, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
The problem even occurs as I'm typing this text into the chat function in Blabby.
It's a bit strange because I haven't had this problem before.

Hey Thomas, no worries, I found the issue. The good news is, it’s not like the extension (which takes 3–4 days to update). The app should be updated in 10 to 20 minutes.

Thank you very much, as I've become very reliant on the product.
The Blabby app automatically reduces my microphone level to about 75 out of 100, I think. I've tried everything I can in Windows, including adjusting privacy settings and app settings, as well as anything I could find in Windows itself, to maximize the volume.
There is even a maximum level setting in Windows, which was at 75. I turned it up to 100, saved, applied, whatever it takes. And it seems to have gone back to 75 for some reason.
At the 75 level, the dictation is not as accurate, so clearly the app is not recognizing or perceiving my voice correctly all the time.
The small level bar that moves up and down as you speak is only reaching about 5 to 10% of its maximum potential.
When I turn it up to 100 in the system settings, it seems to work much better. However, the maximum level keeps dropping to about 75 when I start to use Blabby . In fact, it just dropped from 100 to 81 while I'm dictating this message.
When I went back to the Windows system settings, it had indeed been reset to 81. I have no idea why it changed to 81 instead of 75. Something is adjusting the maximum level, and it's setting it too low.
I am using a Logitech Webcam C930e. Maybe it's the camera driver that's causing it.
A YouTuber suggested unchecking the box in the attachment, which I have done.
Do you have any ideas?

I'm sorry, I should probably start another thread. Please let me know if I should do that.

No, it’s okay. No worries. I’ll check it out and let you know if I have any updates. By the way, did your app get updated?
