Grant permissions

Without the right permissions, Fluesta cannot record, use the hotkey, or paste text.

  1. Launch Fluesta or complete onboarding.
  2. Allow microphone access when prompted.
  3. If denied: System Settings → Privacy → Microphone → enable Fluesta.
  1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
  2. Enable Fluesta.
  3. Restart Fluesta if the hotkey or auto-paste does not respond.

Fluesta can use visible window content for better correction (not continuous recording).

  2. Enable Fluesta.

Without this permission, dictation still works — only screen-based context is skipped.
