# Voice for Android Grant Microphone Access

**Issue:**

I'm trying to dictate with Voice for Android and a Microphone Access message appeared on the screen. ![MicAccess-message](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/MicAccess-message.png)

This message appears if you tap "Don't Allow" or "Only this time" to the allow nVoq Voice to record audio message after the second time it appears.

**Microphone access is required for you to record dictation on Voice for Android.**

**What to do:**

1. Tap the **SETTINGS** button on the message.

2. This opens the Android Settings to the App Info screen for nVoq Voice. Tap **Permissions**.

3. On the App Permissions screen, tap **Microphone**.

4. On the Microphone Permission screen, tap **Allow only while using the app**.
