Google Voice typing insist on capitalizing certain words

I am going to dictate this entire note without changing anyting.

Google voice typing sometimes decides that certain words must be capitalized in all instances, whether they are in the middle of sentences or not. Words such as Arrangement, Behavior, and some others. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason for the words that it picks, but once it is picked a word it continues to capitalize it forever!

I have deleted words from the dictionary, clear the settings of apps where this is happening, uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, reset my phone to factory settings and set it up as a brand new device, and many other things that I can't recall right now. Nothing seems to help.

the consistency with which it does this is very interesting. I could go see a behavior specialist, but I can't comment on someone's Behavior. It says if it believes behavior is a proper noun, except for in this sentence in which behavior was capitalized and then changed after I had said a few more words. I wonder, now that it's changed does the behavior continue? What about if I go see someone about this strange Behavior? Haha, still capitalizing behavior when it's at the end of a sentence, what a very strange behavior that is. That is a most interesting Behavior!

If it were just a word or two here or there, it wouldn't be a big deal. But it's getting to be an issue. In so many text conversations that I must have, I end up spending so long correcting the errant capitalization that it seems easier just to type the whole thing out.

Is there really no way to create a rule we're by the only words that are capitalized occur at the beginning of paragraphs or sentences? It would be so much easier for me if I could just go back and capitalize the proper nouns that I need rather than to look through the entire post to find words that are not supposed to be capitalized. I don't like this Behavior!

Not that I read your post, the ghost in your phone jumped into mine - almost the same errors. But try

British spelling of behavior

It doesn't capitalize 'behavior' in that one.

I'm as bewildered as you are.
