Support
Most answers are built into the app: open Help (⌘?) for live checks with buttons that fix things. If you're still stuck, email support@taptotalkie.com.
Common fixes
It says the microphone is off, but I turned it on
Click Repair permissions in Help or Settings → General. It clears Tap to Talkie's own permission entries, reopens the app and walks you through allowing the microphone again. When macOS asks, click Allow.
Holding the key does nothing
Tap to Talkie needs Input Monitoring to notice your key from any app. Help → Fix a problem opens the right setting. After switching it on, use Relaunch. macOS often applies it only after a relaunch.
The text is copied but not pasted
Pasting needs Accessibility permission. Without it, the app copies the text and shows "Copied — press ⌘V". Turn it on from Help → Fix a problem.
It's slow on my Mac
Pick a smaller speech model in Settings → Models. Intel Macs and Macs with 8 GB of memory do best with the Base model.
A word keeps coming out wrong
Add it to your Dictionary in Settings. Names, brands and trade words are spelled your way every time.
Moving to a new Mac
On the old Mac, open Settings → License and click Deactivate This Mac. Then enter your key on the new Mac.
Uninstalling
Quit Tap to Talkie and drag it from Applications to the Trash. To remove its data too, delete ~/Library/Application Support/Tap to Talkie.
Requirements
- macOS 13 Ventura or later
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac
- 148.9 MB to 1.61 GB for a speech model, depending on which you choose
