Speech To Text in VS code is awkward on MacOS about vscode HOT 5 OPEN

If you could just hook the did_complete of the Dictation tool and use AI to post-process and re-render the affected text, maybe this would do the job. If that's possible...

Here's an example of the duplicate-text bug.

I'm speaking test 123 optionally followed by full stop or new paragraph and then hitting BACKSPACE or ENTER, or LEFT-ARROW, or 'a' or pretty much anything it seems.

It seems that if I don't allow enough silence for it to 'settle down' after I've said 'full stop', the utterance text gets double-injected into the window.

In TextEdit I can't replicate this particular fail. It isn't 100% right there either. It is inserting unwanted newline characters.

Here's a demo of the wordwrap + superposition issue:

from vscode.

Here's an example of the Capitilization-of-start-of-new-phrase problem:

• First example: I'm just pausing before 'in the plane'
• Second example: 'the rain in spain stays mainly', off the dictation, on it, 'in the plane'
• Third example (fail): 'the rain in spain stays mainly', pause, add a space via keyboard, 'in the plane'

There are other situations where I get a Capitalization fail, e.g. inserting the cursor into a sentence and speaking.

This one is probably a really tricky fix, as macOS dictation assistant is clearly scraping the text for the active window and operating over that.

I think a VS code native speech tool would be a much appreciated feature!

Here's a nice repeatable minimal testcase for duplication.

All I do here is double-tap Fn to invoke the macOS speech-to-text assistant and speak "Test 123" followed by a couple of seconds of silence followed by "New paragraph".

And then I just wait.

Firstly it DOESN'T create a new paragraph, just a couple of spaces.
Secondly, once it times out it dumps a duplicate of the utterance.
