Start with the part that is not working.

Confirm Microphone, Accessibility, and Input Monitoring in System Settings. Return to Simply Speak and use the in-app permission check after changing a setting.

Also check whether macOS has assigned Globe/Fn to another system action.

Keep the same editor focused from shortcut press through insertion. If focus changes, Simply Speak saves the result to History instead of typing into the new target.

Secure fields and unverified opaque editors remain blocked by design.

Open Models and check the active provider status, credential state, quota, and connection. Fallback is temporary and should not change the saved model selection.

Compare Raw or Clean with Refine and Ultra. The Usage and Development Center views separate speech, cleanup, validation, and insertion time so the slow stage is visible.

When insertion fails or focus changes, check History. Recoverable text should be stored there with an “Insert here” or copy action.
