Frequently asked questions

The voice model takes forever to download

The Parakeet TDT v3 model is roughly 600 MB and is downloaded on first launch when you tap the mic. Use Wi-Fi for the first run. Once downloaded it is cached on-device and works offline.

Voice dictation does nothing

Make sure the microphone permission is granted (Settings → VoiceTerm → Microphone). For Bluetooth headsets, pair the device first; VoiceTerm prefers BT/HFP/headset inputs over the iPhone built-in mic.

Connection drops when the screen locks

Enable "Keep connection alive in background" in Settings. This uses iOS background location to prevent suspension. Without it, iOS will suspend the App after 30 to 180 seconds of background time.

How do I add aliases?

Open Settings → Voice aliases. Add patterns like enter\r or list filesls\r. The longest match wins.

How do I restore my purchase on a new device?

Settings → Restore Purchases. Use the same Apple ID you bought with.

What SSH features are supported?

Password and key auth (RSA, ed25519). Standard interactive shells. ProxyJump and SFTP are not yet supported.
