Solve the common cases

Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, keyboard, and Watch

Start with the exact entry point that failed. A recording in the app, keyboard dictation, Watch transfer, file import, and sync each have a different dependency.

iOS / iPadOS 18+watchOS 11+Version 1.0 stableOpen the App Store

01

The App Store download does not work

Open the official App Store product page from the iOS overview. If the download is unavailable, confirm that the device runs iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later, check that you are signed in to the App Store, and retry. Include Apple's exact message when contacting support.

02

Recording or local transcription does not start

  • Open iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone and confirm TypeWhisper is enabled.
  • If you selected Apple Speech, confirm Speech Recognition permission is enabled too.
  • Open TypeWhisper's model manager and confirm the selected local model finished downloading and compiling.
  • Check available device storage and retry a paused or failed model download on a reliable connection.
  • Disconnect an unexpected Bluetooth audio route or select the intended microphone, then run a short test.

03

The keyboard is missing or does not insert text

  • Add TypeWhisper under Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard.
  • Enable Allow Full Access for voice dictation and the shared result path.
  • Open the main app once, complete its microphone and speech permissions, and run a test recording there.
  • Use a normal text field for testing. iOS does not allow third-party keyboards in some secure fields.
  • After tapping the keyboard microphone, return through the previous-app link and keep the TypeWhisper keyboard selected until insertion finishes.

04

A Watch or Quick Dictation is stuck in Inbox

  • Keep the iPhone and Watch connected by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and open TypeWhisper on the iPhone.
  • Check free storage on the Watch before starting another long recording.
  • Open the Inbox item to see whether recording transfer or transcription failed, then retry the failed step.
  • Enable TypeWhisper notifications if you want a private alert when background processing completes.

05

Cloud processing or Premium sync fails

  • Confirm the selected provider credential and network connection, then test with a short recording.
  • Switch to an on-device engine to separate provider problems from microphone or model problems.
  • For Premium sync, confirm Sign in with Apple, active entitlement, selected sync mode, and access to the chosen Files folder.
  • Use Sync Now after reconnecting the folder. Re-select a folder when iOS reports that access is no longer available.
