Here is the error from one of them. Are you able to make out something from the error? Unfortunately it impacts one of the most widely used webpage for me. It is our intranet website so you cannot access it. My only option is to either downgrade to the previous version or to unsubscribe for now.

So this wasn’t an issue before on those sites and it appeared with v3.11 (where we updated the way dictation works on many sites)?

It’s difficult to debug without access to the site. Would you be able to give us the HTML that surrounds the text area that you’re trying to dictate into? Or the source of the page?

Yes it worked before 3.11

Here is the HTML of the input element which stopped working.

I figured out a way for you to reproduce the error.

  1. Goto facebook.com
  2. Use the messenger icon from right top corner to open messenger thread.
  3. Note you must remain on the Facebook site.
  4. Use lipsurf to dictate a message to a friend. You will see that it crashes.

Fixed in v3.11.1 which was just submitted for review. It will automatically update for you as soon as the Google Chrome team reviews it (generally a couple days).

Thanks very much for the Facebook example, it was instrumental in finding the problem quickly!
