Voice input isn't working!
If you cannot use the voice input function in our native apps (voice input is not available on the website), here’s a standard troubleshooting check-list for voice input:
- Make sure you have very stable internet connection in general. WiFi is always recommended over cellular data.
- Make sure you’re not using any type of headphones/ earphones during the troubleshooting.
- Update your app to the latest build by going to the App Store or Google Play store and clicking “update” (if available).
- Restart the app.
- Make sure to enable voice input in your mobile OS.
- On Apple, go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard and toggle Enable Dictation.
- On Android, go to Device Settings -> Personal -> Language & Input, then look for the Speech -> Voice Input section.
- Make sure to turn on voice input on Lingvist. Go to Settings -> Enable speech input.
- Try voice input in other apps. If it works in other apps but not in Lingvist, please send us a screenshot of the card and what happens when you click on it. It would also be beneficial for us to know:
- whether it doesn’t work on cards, Speaking Challenges or both.
- whether it doesn’t work on all cards, or just some of them.
Android users
