Help / Voice follow

Voice follow says it's unavailable

Voice follow needs the microphone and speech recognition allowed, a microphone nothing else is holding, and Apple's on-device speech model for the script's language on that device. The message says which is missing.

1. "Voice follow needs the microphone and speech recognition." Tap Open Settings, turn both on for Cutvey Teleprompter, then turn voice follow on again.
2. "This device has no on device speech model for..." There's no Apple on-device model for the script's language on this device, so voice follow can't run, and nothing is sent anywhere to be recognized. Check the script's language is right on the Text page.
3. "The microphone could not be opened." Something else is using it, often a call. End it or free the microphone, then turn voice follow on again.
4. "Voice follow is available on the prompting device." You're on a joined remote or monitor. Turn it on on the device that's prompting.
5. "Voice follow can be turned on when this take has ended." Turn it on before you press record.

Voice follow isn't available for Slovenian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Bulgarian or Farsi. In other languages it depends on the device having Apple's on-device model. It's off by default, and remembered on each device.
