Common Issues (Android)​

Microphone permission is disabled​

Whisperr needs microphone access to transcribe. If no transcription appears, the permission may be off — enable it from system settings:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Apps > Whisperr > Permissions > Microphone
  3. Set it to Allow

Audio not reaching the mic​

Move closer to the speaker, or use an external microphone.

Still nothing​

Restart the app and try again.
