Voice In relies on the browser's speech-to-text engine. The engine recently stopped converting "period" to ".". This change happened around Jan 14.
Please see the built-in voice commands available in Voice In at https://dictanote.co/voicein/…. We are working on updating the extension to add support for "period" and some of the other changes. Note you can use "full stop" to insert a full stop.
If you have Voice In Plus, add a custom voice command for "period". Add "period" => "."
Update: We just released a new version v3.24 of Voice In.
The new version contains a number of improvements:
1) Fixes capitalization within sentences.
When you say: I love it full stop thank you
Before it would type: I love it. thank you
Now it types: I love it. Thank you
2) Number formatting: When you dictate numbers say 781, it would type "781" or "-781" or "7 8 1". We have fixed the formatting issue to consistently type in 781.
3) Added default voice commands like "exclamation point".
We have not fixed the period issue yet. Adding a built-in voice command "period" => "." would make it impossible for users to dictate phrases like "time period".
We advise users to add a custom voice command "period" => "."

I am using "full stop" to insert a period, but it leaves a space between the period and the end of the sentence.
Also, previously when I used the command "New Paragraph" it started a new one and skipped a line.This no longer seems to work. is there a new procedure? Thanks.
The command “closed parenthesis” doesn't register no matter how much I stress my pronunciation and when I tried to add a custom command update it to “closed parentheses” it is still not recognized.

Sorry, but the problem with the period seems to have correct it self and works fine now. Still having issue with "new paragraph".
