Are you getting an error message about missing access?

When you tap the microphone icon in the app for the first time, your phone will typically ask for permission to use the microphone. If you accidentally tap "No" or "Deny," you will receive an error message the next time you try to use the feature.

Step-by-step: How to turn on the microphone

Follow these simple steps to grant the app access so you can start dictating your texts:

  1. Close the Cliarly app and go to Settings (the small gear icon) on your phone.
  2. Use the search bar at the top of the settings and search for Cliarly (or scroll down to the bottom of the settings until you find the app in the list).
  3. Tap Cliarly to open the app's permissions.
  4. Find the Microphone item and tap the button (or "slider") to turn it on. The button usually lights up green when access is granted.

Now you can open the Cliarly app again. When you tap the microphone icon, the app is ready to listen and transform your words into sharp and precise text.

Tip: Remember that you can always use Cliarly Corrected (our AI correction) afterward to fine-tune the text you have dictated, ensuring the punctuation and flow are perfect.
