Common Issues (iPhone/iPad)​

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. Tap Privacy & Security > Microphone
  3. Turn on Whisperr

Audio not reaching the mic​

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

Still nothing​

Restart the app and try again.
