Troubleshooting Voice Recognition

Browser Settings

Ensuring your browser settings are correct is important for using the voice recording feature in DocsHound. Without proper settings, the tool won't be able to access your microphone, which is essential for voice input.

To check and adjust your microphone settings in Chrome, follow these steps:

  1. Click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome to open the menu.

  2. Select Settings from the dropdown.

  3. In the search bar at the top of the settings page, type 'microphone'.

  4. Click on Site Settings from the search results.

  5. Scroll down and select Microphone under the permissions section.

  6. Ensure the desired microphone is selected from the dropdown.

  7. Confirm that DocsHound is listed under the ‘Allowed to use your microphone’ section.

By following these steps, you can make sure DocsHound has the necessary permissions to use your microphone for voice recording.

Permission Notifications

When you start recording for the first time, a notification will appear at the top left of your browser. This notification will ask for permission to use your microphone.

To grant permission, click on the notification and select 'Allow'. This will enable DocsHound to access your microphone for voice recording.

Identifying Recording Issues

When you are recording voice input in DocsHound and encounter issues, there are a few visual cues to identify an unsuccessful recording.

Firstly, if the recording was unsuccessful, you will notice that after clicking the stop button, the same microphone icon will reappear instead of a refresh button. This indicates that the audio was not recorded properly.

It's also important to note that DocsHound does not currently have error handling for recording issues. This means the interface will not notify you if there was a problem during recording. As a result, you need to pay close attention to the available icons to determine if the recording was successful.

Check Your Microphone Settings

If your recording doesn't start, check your browser settings. Ensure DocsHound is allowed to use your microphone. Go to Chrome settings, search for 'microphone,' and select the right one.
