Importing Audio and Audacity marker files

$

I started using Bloom last year.
Our language is the Northern Pwo Karen language.
This language uses Thai characters but does not follow all the rules for 100% Thai script.

Most of the text for our books are in Word already.
I put the | timing markers in Word first, then I copy the text from Word and past it in Bloom.
When I do that I count the number of markers for reference later in Audacity.

Then I use Audacity to create the audio file and the timing marker file.
I export both of them and import them in Bloom.

I frequently, more often than not, run into the same problem that after importing the audio file and the timing marker file the orange summary that gives you an evaluation of the process tells me that in Bloom are more text fragments that the timing file says.

When I re-arrange so sentences afterwards and import the files again it shows even more difference in text fragments and timing markers.

I can’t find much information in the documentation about this but I’ve been wondering does Bloom consider multiple spaces or other characters as | markers?
Do I need to put an ENTER at the end of every sentence, or do I do something else wrong?
