Troubleshooting

What to do when recording, hotkeys, text insertion, OpenAI API key, or local models do not work.

Recording does not start

Check Microphone permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone and confirm the selected input device works.

The hotkey does not work

Check Input Monitoring and Accessibility permissions. Also review Settings → Hotkeys and app availability rules.

Text is not inserted

Check Accessibility permission, Auto-paste, and whether the cursor is inside an editable field in the active app.

OpenAI key issues

Copy the key again, confirm API billing is enabled in your OpenAI account, and save the key again in VoiceToPrompt.
