This is one of the parity work we missed when moving to v4. In v3, it used to behave what @alokraj68 said.

But since we have a plan to revamp the sendbox (#2211), the UX will be greatly improve and this bug will no longer repro.

We can keep this bug open until we close #2211.

@alokraj68 Please note that you can still send the typed message by pressing Enter when you are ready to send.

I just tested this out and it is true that clicking the microphone button (instead of pressing enter) with a typed message in the send box turns on the microphone, rather than sending the typed message. It looks like this is a UX oversight, but I’m not sure how quickly we would implement a fix.

A related enhancement we have filed is https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/2211, which looks to have separate inputs depending on whether customer is using voice or keyboard.
