FAQ

What do I do if the extension won't start transcribing?

Check microphone permissions in Chrome and your OS, ensure the correct input is selected, and verify the extension has calendar/meeting access. Update Chrome if needed.

How do I verify API access?

Set TWINMIND_API_KEY as an environment variable or in a .env file, then call the health endpoint with curl using Bearer authorization to confirm connectivity.
