Microphone Permission Manager

Handles runtime microphone permission requests on iOS (NSMicrophoneUsageDescription) and Android (RECORD_AUDIO) the first time the user activates speech input. Displays a contextual rationale dialog explaining that the microphone is used exclusively for post-activity note dictation, not for recording conversations. Persists the granted/denied state and surfaces it to dependent components without re-prompting unnecessarily.

Feature: Speech-to-Text Input

microphone-permission-manager

• Check current microphone permission status at service initialisation
• Request runtime permission with a clear, privacy-focused rationale on first use
• Provide a typed PermissionStatus result to the STT Service and widget layer
• Direct users to system settings if permission was permanently denied
• Ensure permission rationale explicitly frames the feature as post-hoc dictation only
