Permanently Allowing Microphone Permissions on Safari (iOS)

To prevent iOS from asking for microphone permissions each time you use Nabla, you can follow these steps to permanently allow microphone access in Safari. This option is not available for Chrome, Edge, or other browsers on iOS due to Apple's security restrictions on non-Safari browsers.

  1. Open Safari and navigate to copilot.nabla.com.

  2. Tap the Aa icon in the address field.

  3. Select Website Settings.

  4. Set the microphone to Allow.


Best Practices

Nabla requires continuous access to your phone's microphone during encounters to maintain transcription functionality. Incoming calls may disrupt Nabla’s microphone access, affecting the ability to transcribe.

To avoid interruptions, we recommend the following best practices:

  • Enable Do Not Disturb mode while using Nabla to eliminate disruptions.

  • Do not lock your phone while using Nabla; keep the Web page or app open during your encounter.

  • On iOS, disable Low Power Mode, as it may lock your screen automatically.

  • On Android, disable Doze Mode (or equivalent manufacturer-specific power-saving features).

If You Receive an Incoming Call

If you receive an incoming call during your Nabla encounter, it will disrupt the microphone access on both iOS and Android. An orange screen will appear, indicating that access to the microphone has been lost. To restore access, follow these steps:

  1. After dismissing or finishing the call, return to Nabla and click Finish later on the orange screen.

  2. Ensure that the recording has resumed (purple screen) or manually relaunch it (yellow screen).
