Troubleshooting tips

  • Check that Voibe is running

    Look for the Voibe icon in the Mac status bar. If you see it, Voibe is active.

  • Click into the target text field

    Text goes only to the app with the cursor. Place the caret where you want text.

  • Allow microphone access

    System Settings > Privacy and Security > Microphone. Enable Voibe.

  • Allow accessibility access

    System Settings > Privacy and Security > Accessibility. Enable Voibe.

  • If no text appears

    Confirm the caret is visible in a text field. Try another app. Open Voibe from Applications.

  • If the hotkey does not work

    Change the hotkey in Voibe settings to avoid conflicts with macOS or other apps.

  • If words are typed incorrectly

    Speak at a steady pace. Add uncommon words to the custom dictionary.
