Accessibility Permission Not Working

EnviousWispr uses the Accessibility permission to recognize a modifier key used on its own as a keybind, such as Right Option or Globe, and to put your finished text into whatever app you are working in. Without it, such a keybind does not respond, and with any other keybind your words are transcribed but nothing is pasted.

Turn on the Accessibility permission

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
2. Click + and add EnviousWispr from your Applications folder.
3. Make sure the switch beside it is on.

You do not need to restart EnviousWispr. The app notices within a few seconds. You will know it worked when your keybind starts a recording and your next dictation lands in the text box on its own.

Accessibility stopped working after it was on

macOS can turn a permission off while an app is running, and a system update sometimes does exactly that. EnviousWispr notices the next time you dictate and warns you (for example with Auto-paste needs Accessibility). Switch EnviousWispr back on under System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.

The switch is on but nothing pastes

macOS occasionally holds on to a stale record of the app. Remove EnviousWispr from the Accessibility list with the - button, then add it back with + and switch it on again.

Where my text goes when it cannot paste

When EnviousWispr cannot paste, it copies your text to the clipboard instead and tells you it has done so. Press Cmd+V to put the text into your document yourself. Your dictation is not lost.
