- Try selecting a different "Recognition Language" in Settings if you're not speaking English (US).
- Nexora isn't speaking responses aloud:
- Check your computer's volume and ensure it's not muted.
- Try selecting a different "Assistant Voice" in Settings. Some system voices might occasionally have issues.
- Weather, Dictionary, etc., not working:
- Ensure you have a stable internet connection, as these features rely on external services.
