🛠️ Common Troubleshooting

Most issues involve microphone settings or system permissions.

• No text appears: Check if you muted your microphone. Ensure the app has permission to use the microphone in your Windows Privacy settings.
• App runs slowly: Close background programs that use a lot of memory. Open-dictate needs significant power to process speech.
• Text errors: Move closer to your microphone. Background noise interferes with the accuracy of the software. Speak at a steady pace.

🔒 Privacy and Data Security

Many dictation tools send your voice to a server in the cloud. open-dictate acts differently. It runs entirely on your local machine. Nothing leaves your computer. You do not need an internet connection to use the app. This design keeps your thoughts and documents safe from outside access.
