Microphone Access

Beeble may request access to your device's microphone for voice note recording functionality.This feature allows you to record audio notes during hive inspections for more efficient data entry. For example, you can record voice notes like "Queen spotted, healthy brood pattern observed" which can later be transcribed or saved as audio attachments to your inspection records.

Voice recordings are processed locally on your device and stored securely in your personal beekeeping records. We do not use microphone data for any other purposes, and you can disable this feature at any time in the app settings.
