[ SUPPORT / FIXES ]

> Troubleshooting

Most TextSwitcher issues are solved by checking permissions or restarting the app. Pick the symptom that matches your situation and follow the steps below.

ISSUE 01

> TextSwitcher does not correct anything

  1. Make sure TextSwitcher is running. Look for it in Applications and launch it.
  2. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility and confirm TextSwitcher is enabled.
  3. Try typing a known example such as ghbdtn followed by a space in a plain text field.
  4. Restart the app after changing permissions so the helper can attach correctly.

ISSUE 02

> The Accessibility permission prompt keeps appearing

  1. Remove TextSwitcher from System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
  2. Relaunch TextSwitcher and approve the prompt again.
  3. If the app is listed twice, disable the older entry and keep only the current one.

ISSUE 03

> Chrome support is not working

  1. Confirm you are on TextSwitcher 1.1.1 or newer. The current version is shown on the homepage.
  2. Open TextSwitcher settings and make sure the Chrome helper is enabled.
  3. Restart Google Chrome after enabling the helper.
  4. Try a test in a simple text field first, such as the Google search box.

ISSUE 04

> macOS says the app cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer

  1. Right-click the app icon and choose Open, then confirm.
  2. Alternatively, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
  3. This Gatekeeper warning is normal for apps distributed outside the Mac App Store.

ISSUE 05

> TextSwitcher seems slow or uses too much battery

  1. TextSwitcher only reacts to keystrokes and sleeps otherwise. High usage usually means another process is active.
  2. Check Activity Monitor to confirm TextSwitcher is the cause.
  3. Restart the app and avoid running multiple copies at once.

ISSUE 06

> Some apps still show gibberish

  1. Correction works in most native Mac apps and Google Chrome. Apps that use custom input fields or web views may not be supported.
  2. For unsupported apps, use the online Keyboard Layout Translator to decode text manually.
