Fix recording problems

Troubleshoot missing audio, empty transcripts, and stuck recording sessions.

1 min readUpdated May 26, 2026

Most recording problems come from permissions, audio source selection, or interrupted processing.

No transcript appears

  1. Stop the test recording.
  2. Check microphone or system audio permissions.
  3. Restart OmniForge after permission changes.
  4. Try a short test recording again.

Recording will not start

Wait for the setup message to clear. Audio capture and transcription services need to be ready before recording controls unlock.

If recording still fails, restart OmniForge and try again.

Session is stuck after stopping

Keep OmniForge open for a few minutes. If the session remains stuck, restart the app and check transcript history.
