Why will recording not start?
FlashBrief needs microphone permission. Check FlashBrief in iPhone Settings, enable microphone access, return to the app, and try again. Recording remains unavailable in browser-only preview environments that do not expose a compatible microphone path.
Where are my recordings stored?
Recordings, saved ideas, transcripts, and selected results are stored in the app on your device. FlashBrief does not provide an account-based cloud library in the current version.
When does audio leave my device?
Audio is sent only when you request transcription or AI processing. The selected audio goes through the FlashBrief processing service. Recording and local review do not require that upload.
What happens if transcription or AI processing fails?
The saved recording remains available in Inbox. Failed, canceled, and timed-out processing attempts do not count as a successful AI result. You can retry after the connection or service becomes available.
How do usage limits work?
Only successfully transcribed audio time and successfully generated AI results count. Free includes 10 transcription minutes and 5 AI results per month. Monthly Pro includes 120 minutes and 70 results per month. Yearly Pro includes 132 minutes and 77 results per month.
Which language does FlashBrief use for transcripts and AI notes?
Transcription identifies the language spoken in the recording. Generated AI notes follow the app language selected by iPhone language settings or by your in-app language choice. Changing the app language does not silently rewrite results you already saved.
How do purchases and Restore Purchase work?
Purchases are processed by the App Store. Pro unlocks only after the transaction is confirmed. Use Restore Purchase in Settings with the same Apple Account used for the original purchase.
How do I delete my data?
Delete an individual idea from its detail flow or use Clear local records in Settings to remove captured ideas and stored recordings from the device. Clear saved feedback removes local drafts and receipts. These actions do not remove App Store purchase history or service-side usage records.
Does in-app feedback reach support?
Yes. After you tap Send and receive a success confirmation, the feedback service records your rating, message, optional email, and a request identifier. If sending fails, the draft remains on this iPhone so you can retry or use email support.
