What needs to happen for recovery to work?

Your dictation must successfully save and remain available in Dictations. When Weeve cannot confirm insertion, it still tries to save the text from a non-secure field. Saving can fail if your storage is unavailable, full or unwritable. If there is no saved entry, this workflow cannot recover the words.

Will the saved text be exactly what I said?
