Troubleshooting

Fix common issues with Vorn Voice — permissions, hotkeys, audio, and more.

If something is not working as expected, check the guides below for your specific issue.

Common issues

  • Permissions — Microphone not working, auto-paste not inserting text, accessibility permission denied.
  • Hotkey issues — Shortcut not registering, conflicts with other apps, Linux/Wayland problems.
  • Audio issues — No speech detected, empty transcriptions, quiet or clipped audio.

General steps

  1. Check your account status. Open settings and verify your subscription or beta access is active. If not, dictation will be locked.
  2. Try a different model. If one model gives poor results, switch to another in settings.
  3. Restart the app. Some permission changes require a restart to take effect.
  4. Check for updates. Make sure you are running the latest version of Vorn Voice.
