Hi there! I understand you’re experiencing an issue where the CaptionCall app form started typing wrong characters while you were filling it out, and you’re wondering if it might be related to a character limit.

To help you better, could you tell me a bit more? For example:
- Which specific form were you filling out? Was it on the CaptionCall website, mobile app, or the phone device itself?
- Is the erroneous typing happening with all fields or just certain ones?
- Have you noticed if the issue occurs after entering a certain number of characters?

Usually, forms can have character limits for input fields to prevent data overflow or to meet specific formatting requirements. If you try to exceed these limits, sometimes the app might behave unexpectedly, such as showing wrong characters or not accepting further input.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot this:

1. Check Character Limits:
Try entering fewer characters to see if the errors stop. Most forms specify limits near input fields or in documentation. For CaptionCall devices or apps, user guides sometimes mention these limits.

2. Clear Cache and Restart:
Since you’re on Windows with a WebKit-based browser, clearing your browser cache might help. Also, restarting the app or browser can clear transient glitches. Here’s how:
- Close the browser completely.
- Open it again and try the form fresh.
- If you’re using an app, close and reopen the app.

3. Check Keyboard Language Settings:
Sometimes if your keyboard language or input method changed, it can cause wrong characters to appear. On Windows 10, check the language at the bottom right of your taskbar and ensure it’s set to the intended language (usually English).

4. Try a Different Browser or Device:
If you’re filling a web form, see if the issue replicates in a different browser or device. This helps isolate if the problem is specific to your current browser or system.

5. Update the App/Software:
Ensure your CaptionCall app or device firmware is up to date, as updates often fix bugs related to input errors.

If the problem persists and seems tied to a specific field or form on captioncall’s site or app, the next best step would be to contact CaptionCall support directly through their official channel for detailed assistance—they can check backend logs or known limitations.

Would you be able to share which form or screen you experienced this on and any error messages you saw? That way, I can give more precise instructions tailored to your exact situation.

Are you satisfied with this initial guidance?
