How to prevent unexpected capitalization while dictating.

When you click into a sentence on your computer, Mobius does not know the context of where in the sentence you clicked. We don't "scrape" or read the text on your computer screen when your cursor changes position, so the software is unable to determine if you're at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.

What you can do, however, is say "lowercase" before your next word (when in the middle of a sentence), and we'll make sure the next results are lowercased, as expected.

You can also say "Start Fresh" as a command to tell Mobius that the next dictation should be written as though it were the beginning of a sentence. This will produce the same effect as turning on the dictation for the first time.

One more note: in memos, you'll notice that moving your cursor around the text and dictating always results in the correct capitalization. This is because all of the text is available on your device and we can ensure the correct formatting because we have the context.
