We’re happy to help, and we’d love to hear what could be better.
Looking for what you can say? See How it works.
Common fixes
The mic button says it needs permission
Open the iPhone Settings app → VoiceSpotter, and turn on Microphone and Speech Recognition.
It keeps mishearing me
- Pause briefly after tapping the mic, then speak normally. It stops listening after a short pause.
- Numbers first works well: “8 at 80”, “8 reps at 80 kilos”.
- For exercises you name differently, add your wording under Settings → Exercises → (exercise) → Other names you say.
- If a set is wrong, say “make that 8 at 80” or tap the set to fix it.
Hands-free is picking up other people
Turn on Require “Spotter” first in Settings. Then only phrases starting with “Spotter” are used, e.g. “Spotter, 10 at 80”.
I don’t see the rest timer on my Lock Screen
Open the iPhone Settings app → VoiceSpotter and turn on Live Activities. Also check the rest timer is on under VoiceSpotter’s own Settings → Rest between sets.
No sound or notification when rest ends
Check notifications are allowed (Settings app → VoiceSpotter → Notifications) and that your phone isn’t on silent or in a Focus that hides VoiceSpotter. Read-backs need “Read back each set” on in VoiceSpotter’s Settings.
My planned session is on the wrong day
On the Plan tab tap the slider button (Plan settings) → Shift pattern and check Today is matches where you are in your rota. Or run the guide again from Settings → Show the set-up guide again.
The plate planner uses plates I don’t have
Settings → Plates you own. Set how many of each plate you have (the total, both sides together).
How do I delete my data?
Swipe left on any set, exercise or workout to delete it. Deleting the app removes everything. VoiceSpotter doesn’t keep a copy anywhere else.
