Voice to text removes space before previous word

When using dictation on most devices, including iPhones and other Apple products, a brief pause is expected between words, but a longer pause can cause the system to interpret it as the end of a sentence. This means:

• A short pause allows you to continue speaking without interruption.
• A longer pause (typically more than a second or two) may trigger automatic punctuation, such as a period, and start a new sentence.
• Some dictation systems use AI to determine intent, so the length of the pause and context may influence punctuation differently.

If you need to pause for thought without ending the sentence, try saying "comma," "dash," or "ellipsis" to maintain continuity.
