Why can I not use the microphone or finish dictation?

A dedicated microphone is available in the mobile store app only when the device supports Calsa's on-device speech recognition. If it is missing, use text. On the web, use your keyboard's dictation. Calsa has no separate microphone there.

If the button exists but cannot listen, check microphone and speech permissions for the app. Tap once to begin and again to stop. Recognition also stops at the platform's end-of-speech signal or 60 seconds. Check the words in the field before sending. Audio is not uploaded as a fallback when local recognition is unavailable.
