What you're seeing. "Voice recording isn't supported on this device" or "Microphone access was refused" — both ending "please type your note."

Why it happens. The first means the browser can't record at all. The second means the microphone permission was declined, either at the prompt or earlier in your browser settings. Browsers also refuse microphone access on insecure connections.

How to fix it. Allow the microphone in your browser's site settings and reload. If it still isn't supported, type the note — nothing is lost either way.

Who can fix it. You.
