Weird Disruptive Playback

When the document renders and then I click to view video, the key strokes are very different (than normal) and bizarre--3-4 words will pop up, then disappear, then pop up again. All the while, the timing clock is moving 10-15 seconds forward, then backward as the words are appearing/disappearing. Eventually, the text moves onto the next batch of words.
I'm using Draftback to watch my students, keep them from cheating. This particular doc is from a student who I caught clearly cheating last term. When I confronted him about this current document, he said that he used voice recognition software because "it takes too long to type." However, I know that he didn't use voice recognition software because he was in my class and not talking when the doc was being created/typed. He's sticking to his answer.
Do you have any idea or explanation for the odd playback of the document? (again, I suspect the student is cheating, but I can't nail down or figure out how)

This extension, by the way, is excellent. I'd give it five stars. Thank you for developing it and for any response or consideration.

Draftback loads, but then doesn't play

Hello,
I've been using and loving Draftback for years now, but lately it doesn't play the video. When I click play it opens the window and the play button indicates that it should be playing, but all I see is a blank doc with no edits.
Help please, I really would like to continue to use this tool.
Thanks,
KAte

Draftback is stuck on loading

I'm trying to check, more granularly, the revision history of a student's work. Draftback is working on other student documents, but for one I really need to check, it's stuck on the loading wheel and I can't click onto it. I have restarted Chrome, I've cleared my cache, and I've removed and reinstalled Draftback. None have fixed it.

New Tabs function on Google Docs

Our Professor has us use Google Docs due to the accessible sharing functions and wants us to use Draftback to look at our revisions and how we write. Although he also wants us to use the new tabs function in Google Docs and Draftback does not seem to work with it

Should Draftback work for Google Slides?

It just buffers but does not ever show the revisions

Extension only buffers, won't work

I added the extension to Chrome and it shows on my docs and slides, but it only buffers and does not proceed to show any data or revision history. How do I fix this, please?

Does not work in Google Classroom any longer

My extension seemed to stop working with my Classroom documents. Is there something that I am missing?
