On Android, if you tapped “Deny”, you can enable the permission as shown in the video below.

If you denied this permission before, you can enable it from:

• iOS: Settings -> Visualfy -> Speech Recognition -> turn on the switch
• Android:
  • Tap the microphone button in Visualfy Connect.
  • Tap “Accept” in the message “To enable this option, go to your phone settings and enable the camera permission in the Visualfy app”.
  • The app settings screen opens. Go to: App permissions -> Microphone -> Allow

Another option is to go directly to: *Settings -> Apps -> Installed apps -> Visualfy -> App permissions -> Microphone -> Allow*.
