Common questions

Why does Bolo open when I tap the mic (iPhone)?
iOS doesn’t let keyboards use the microphone, so the Bolo app does the listening. The first tap in a session opens Bolo to switch the mic on; swipe back to your app and keep talking. After that the mic stays ready for the time you set in Bolo’s settings, and the keyboard works without leaving your app.

Why is there an orange dot at the top of the screen?
That’s iOS showing the microphone is ready. You can end the session any time from the Bolo app, or shorten “Keep mic ready for” in Bolo’s settings.

My keyboard switched back to the normal one.
iOS does this after you install or update Bolo. Hold the globe key and pick Bolo again.

Can I get Hinglish in English letters, or all lowercase?
Yes. In Bolo › Settings › Writing style, choose English letters, mixed scripts, your language’s own script, or translation to English, and turn on All lowercase if you like.
