Silence Detection & Auto-Pause
Both engines feature automatic silence detection that pauses recording when you stop speaking (2.0 second silence timeout by default). Toggle Auto-Pause on/off in the Voice Input view.
Troubleshooting Silence Detection
| Symptom | Solution |
|---|---|
| Recording continues when not speaking | Check the Auto-Pause on Silence toggle. Reduce background noise. Speak clearly and close to the microphone. |
| Recording stops immediately | Speak more loudly or reduce the silence detection timeout. |
