VOICE RECORDING & MICROPHONE PERMISSION

In our app, we've implemented a unique and convenient way for you to ask questions and interact with us in your chat — by recording your voice as audio. Instead of typing out your queries, you also have an option to simply speak into your device's microphone, record the voice as audio. This audio interaction feature is designed to make using our app more intuitive and in tune with natural communication.

To enable you to record your questions and thoughts in your own voice as audio, we need to request access to your device's microphone. When you grant us this permission, it allows our app to capture the sound of your voice as audio and convert it into digital data that we can process..

We collect audio data via the microphone for internet calls only when the app is in use or running in the background. The data is not shared with third parties and is only used for internal quality and training purposes. User can manage microphone permissions through your device’s settings.
