Hi there,
When I select Record Audio, the window opens but the "start recording" button is greyed out.
Any fixes for this? (v 5.3.0 on Mac)
Thank you kindly! :)

   Thank you for your patience. The Record Audio button works on our test systems.

   There are a couple of things you can check on your system:

   1. Does your Mac have a microphone attached? You can double-check the "Input" tab under "Sound" in "System Preferences".
      
   2. Does VoodooPad have permission to access the microphone? You can check under "Microphone" in the "Privacy" tab under "Security & Privacy" in "System Preferences".

   HI John.

   Thanks so much for getting back to me.

   1. Yes to Microphone on my Macbook Pro.

   2. I've gone into the Microphone Privacy setting, and I can see that Voodoopad doesn't even have a checkbox in there, for me to enable. It was all working fine years ago on pervious VP versions. Do you know how I can get the checkbox back?

   Thank you kindly :)

   Update:

   Just to add to my previous comment, I've just figured out how to add the checkbox back in & all is working again, Thank you. I just had to leave my privacy settings unlocked in the background whilst using Voodpad, to trigger it to ask me for permission again. Thank you kindly John :)
