Just started having this problem on my Pixel where when I use voice typing it is repeating every sentence I say.

I have tried everything with no help.

Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks

Mine is doing this to, after two phone calls with Verizon tech support for my Samsung Galaxy Edge 7.

First resolution that didn't work was clearing the data in a hidden application. It worked initially, but then returned after charging.

Second resolution was to reset the settings (not a factor reset, just the most basic reset of settings). Again, that seemed to work, but I wake up this morning after charging and it's back to repeating the sentences.

I'll be calling tech support again today for help.
 
My wife and I both just started having this issue with our Pixels as well. Really annoying, since I use voice to text all the time. Restarting the phone fixed it, but only for a minute. By the third test text it was right back. Get on it, Google!
 
Same problem

Same issue started today for me on my Pixel XL. Restarting the phone didn't help.
 
I am having this issue as well on Pixel XL. Started yesterday. Sometimes it duplicates sometimes it copies the same thing 4+ times and I have to clear it out. It never just works and leaves the texts in a single iteration. Completely frustrated with this...not a hardware issue or device issue. This is a software issue as it happened immediately after an update ran on my phone from the google play store.

I just found this forum, is this something that is read by google reps? Or are we just a bunch of people complaining in the wrong place? I want to be sure I am in the right spot to submit this complaint and it actually reaches Google.

It happens to me sometimes on my Pixel XL and also my loaner G5 at the moment -- something on Google's end.
 
I have Verizon LG Stylo and this problem just started this morning. Tried uninstalling google keyboard and reinstalling. It's still doing the same thing. Strange, but it's showing different variations in spelling for the same words, like "hey" and "hay".
 
I have a note 4 and it started yesterday as well. Everything repeats over and over again. I have done what everyone said to do and it has not worked. I have gotten rid of Hangouts. I cannot get rid of Google Voice as I only talk to text and cannot text so this is becoming extremely frustrating!
 
I'm having the same problem on 3 different phones.
Note 5 and another Note on Verizon, Galaxy s6 Edge Plus on Straight Talk. Happens on wifi or cell data.

I have done the following:

  • Disabled Google apps, reinstalled factory version, and sideloaded a prior apk from a friend.
  • Shut down, went into recovery mode, cleared system cache, restarted.
  • Uninstalled / Reinstalled Gboard.
  • Tried changing as many settings combinations under Language and Input as I could find.

Occasionally, it will only repeat it once. But 9/10 times it repeats at least twice. Here is an example of what I'm getting. Notice the subtle differences as Google seems to try and choose between multiple possibilities, but accidentally spits them all out...

When I speak the sentence, "It happens whether I'm on wifi or cell data." I get the following output:

****************************************************************************************

It happens whether I'm on Wi-Fi or cell data that happens whether I'm on Wi-Fi or cell data it happens whether I am on Wi-Fi or cell data it happens weather I'm on Wi-Fi or cell data it happens whether I'm on Wi-Fi or sell data

********************************************************************************************
 
yes it is happening to me too yes it is happening to me to yes it is happening to me - yes it is happening to me 2 I will leave this exactly as it's translating I will leave this is exactly as it's translating my voice right now by voice right now. Period. Period I am on an LG V10 I'm on an LG V10 and as you can see the Google app is a mess and as you can see the Google app it's a mess hand as you can see the Google app is a mess hand as you can see the Google app it's a mess

I'm having this issue as well. I've got an LG V20, on Verizon.

If i can't get gboard to stop doing this, I'll have to switch back to swype keyboard.

I've tried flushing cache, and reinstalling. That didn't work; multiple sentences for every spoken sentence.

Argh!! Same here - I rebooted and then powered off and on multiple times today. Nothing I've tried fixes this. I assumed it may be a problem with the messaging app I'm using, so I tried the microphone in other applications to test it out. In some cases, the text output actually repeats my sentences five or even six times!! Sometimes with the same spelling, sometimes with different spelling, sometimes truncated versions of the same sentence. Here's the latest output in my notes app:

"I am testing the microphone in this application. This application. And this application." - Only the first sentence is what I actually spoke into the microphone. I did not even add the period - WHAT. THE. HECK.
 
Just noticed this happening on my Google Pixel XL today. I've noticed that it seems to not just be repeating what you say several times in text... but, rather, printing every version of what you COULD be saying. Such as saying "knife" but it printing "knife wife life". I just did another VTT test and things seemed to be behaving. Maybe it's fixed. Who knows.
 
Agree; see post #15 .
Mine is still having the problem, unfortunately. I thought for a second it was fixed, but then it returned...
 
Got the same problem. Came here to ask about it and saw a "Trending" notice concerning it. I don't have the "GBoard" Google Keyboard if that makes a difference. In fact, my default keyboard is the Samsung keyboard. Guess I'll just sit back and wait for Google to fix the problem as it looks like all the usual suspects have been tried with no lasting solution.
