I’ve had several users write to tell me that the mic function doesn’t work which I explicitly ask them to use as it yields much better results than typing. Obviously, I tried this function several times when I was creating the app and it worked then but it doesn’t now. I’ve also tried using it in different browsers and that doesn’t help either.

The mic icon displays but nothing happens when it gets clicked.

Typing still works but I’d rather they be able to speak.

I’m using Chatgpt 5 for the chatbot. The link to the pickaxe is here: [Act Bold](https://studio.act-bold.com/MRU7NWZBBO)

Your prompt help is much appreciated!

I’m having this issue too. I hope we can fix this soon. I’m planning on launching the pickaxes that use this in two days. Thank you.

Thanks for hanging tight — the mic input regression was patched just now. Give the page a refresh (or relaunch the deployment), re-allow microphone access if prompted, and you should be able to record again. If you still hit a block after a hard refresh, drop the exact browser + timestamp here and I’ll keep digging.
