Microphone and audio settings

Pick your mic, run the level test to land in the green zone, and use warm mic so your first word is captured instantly.

Find these in Settings → Microphone. A good mic and a sensible level make the biggest difference to accuracy. A USB microphone or headset is recommended, but any working mic will do.

Microphone device

Choose which microphone RadMyk listens to. Defaults to your system mic. Pick a headset or external USB mic if your built-in one is noisy or far away.

Mic test

Click Start test and speak at a normal volume. You’ll see a live meter:

Green (middle): the level you want.
Red: too loud - it can distort and hurt accuracy. Lower your voice, or reduce any mic boost/gain in your system sound settings.
Gray: too quiet - move the mic closer, speak up, or raise the mic level in your system settings.

Warm microphone

On (default): RadMyk keeps the mic ready while the widget is showing, so your very first word is captured the instant you start.
Off: the mic starts fresh each time, which adds a small delay but uses a little less battery.

If RadMyk says the microphone is unavailable, see The microphone isn’t working.
