Short, step-by-step articles for wherever you get stuck setting up or using Yazsın.
Yazsın is in testing. We only describe what works today.
Start here
The Yazsın keyboard disappeared. How do I get it back?
Yazsın hasn't gone anywhere: open the Yazsın app, tap Switch to the Yazsın keyboard and choose Yazsın in the list.
Why is there an orange dot on my iPhone?
The orange dot means an app has the microphone on. It also shows while Yazsın is ready and waiting, but nothing is recorded until you tap the Speak button.
What do “Didn't catch that” and “No sound” mean?
“Didn't catch that” means the recording was too short or too quiet. “No sound” means the microphone picked up nothing at all, usually because another app is using it.
Make Yazsın your default keyboard
On Android, set Yazsın as the default keyboard in Settings. On iPhone, add Yazsın to your keyboards and switch to it once.
Setup

Android's keyboard warning: does Yazsın collect what I type?
No. Android shows this warning for every keyboard you add. Yazsın sends what you say when you tap the Speak button, and it doesn't send what you type with the keys anywhere on its own.
Why does iPhone need “Full Access”?
With Full Access off, iPhone doesn't let the keyboard talk to the Yazsın app, so the Speak button doesn't work.
Using Yazsın
Correct yourself, and get lists and paragraphs
You can correct yourself as you talk: say “the call is at two, no wait, two thirty” and Yazsın writes “The call is at 2:30.”
Undo and Redo: delete the last text, bring it back
Undo deletes the text Yazsın wrote last. Redo brings back the text you deleted.
How do I pick an emoji on the keyboard?
Tap the smiley key and pick your emoji. To go back to the letters, tap ABC.
The keyboard's look and themes
Open the Yazsın app, go to Settings, then Keyboard, and choose the look, the theme and the size of the Speak button.

Privacy
Privacy: what's kept and what isn't?
Yazsın sends your voice only when you tap the Speak button, and it doesn't keep your voice on its servers. The texts it writes for you stay in your account's History for 90 days, unless you switch History off.

The orange dot means an app has the microphone on. It also shows while Yazsın is ready and waiting, but nothing is recorded until you tap the Speak button.
