What should I do if Kiri doesn’t recognize my voice command?

Don’t worry — a few quick tweaks usually solve it.

Updated over a week ago

If Kiri does not understand a voice entry, keep the phrase short, specific, and focused on one event at a time. Most recognition issues improve when the instruction is simpler.


Try this first

  • Speak one event at a time.

  • Use plain phrases such as "Ava slept for 45 minutes" or "Noah had a 4 ounce bottle."

  • Include timing only if it matters.

  • Review the saved entry and edit details if needed.

Common reasons voice logging struggles

  • Background noise is high.

  • The phrase includes too many events at once.

  • The internet connection is weak.

  • Microphone access is not working as expected.

If it keeps happening

Try again with a shorter phrase, then use Settings -> Support if recognition is repeatedly failing.
