Speech Recognition

Speech recognition may be less accurate in noisy environments. Background noise can interfere with speech-to-text accuracy.

Workaround: Practice in a quiet room for the best results. This also mirrors the actual test environment.

Some accents may require slower speech. While fuzzy matching is forgiving, heavy accents combined with fast speech may reduce accuracy.

Workaround: Speak clearly at a moderate pace. The app’s fuzzy matching will handle minor pronunciation differences.

Very small or very large handwriting may not be recognized. The OCR engine works best with moderate-sized, clearly written text.

Workaround: Write at a natural size, about the same as you would on a piece of paper.

State officials may become outdated between app updates. Officials data is updated with each app release. Between releases, newly elected or appointed officials may not yet be reflected.

Workaround: For the most current state officials, verify at uscis.gov.

The app cannot name your exact U.S. Representative. A zip code tells the app your state but not your congressional district, so it lists every House member from your state. States with a single at-large seat show one name. See Your State, Your Officials.

Workaround: Look up your district at house.gov and learn that one name for your interview.

App data does not sync between devices. Study progress, test history, and settings are stored locally on each device and do not sync via iCloud.
Reinstalling the app clears progress. All study data is stored locally. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app will reset your progress, streaks, and test history.

Keep the app installed to preserve your study history. Your purchases can be restored, but study progress cannot.
