Messages when you log by voice

A message in the app9 stepsUpdated 7 October 2026

Your words are never lost. Each message says what to do next.

Short answer

Read the message under your words. Most of the time: tap the bar to try again, or tap Type instead and type it.

Veilleuse is for iPhone.

I didn't hear anything. Try again, or type it.

The microphone heard nothing it could read.

  1. Hold the phone closer.
  2. Tap the bar at the bottom and speak again.

Or tap Type instead and type it.

That didn't work. Your words are still here, try again.

The sentence could not be read, often because of the connection. Your words stay on the page.

  1. Check that you have Wi-Fi or mobile data.
  2. Tap Try again beside the message.

Too many in a row

The message says how many minutes to wait. One person can send 8 sentences in ten minutes. Wait the time it says, or log by hand with the + on the Home cards.

If the line under Tell Veilleuse says your family has used today's requests, they come back at the time it shows. See Ask your diary a question.

Some entries were not saved. Check them and try again.

Some entries were saved, others not. The ones not saved stay on the page with Not saved under them.

  1. Check your connection.
  2. Tap Save all again.

Nothing is saved twice. The entries already saved are no longer on the page.

Allow the microphone and speech in Settings to log by voice. You can still type.

Your iPhone does not let Veilleuse use the microphone.

  1. Tap Open Settings beside the message. Your iPhone opens Veilleuse's page in Settings.
  2. Turn on Microphone and Speech Recognition.
  3. Come back to Veilleuse and tap the bar.

Apple's own page: Control access to hardware features on iPhone.

I didn't find anything to log.

Veilleuse understood the words but found no feed, sleep or nappy in them. Say it again with what happened and when, for example "Wet nappy 10 minutes ago".
