"I can't use the microphone" on the android app
1851
I just encountered a speaking exercise in the French course for the first time (there don't seem to be any in the Turkish or Dutch courses) but these speaking exercises don't work. Instead of a blue microphone icon, like on the website, the android app shows me an error message that says "I can't use the microphone."
In the app settings under "accessibility" I have "speaking exercises" enabled.
My questions: Do speaking exercise work for anybody using the android app? If so, what settings on my phone need to be changed?

Never mind. The microphone works on the phone. The problem was that the text of the opt-out button "I can't use the microphone," confused me. I thought it was a message. A better text, (if anyone from duolingo reads this (which doesn't seem likely given the lack of responses)) would be "I don't want to use the microphone."
