Removal of request to allow access to microphone on Mac OS desktop app

Please remove the constant request to allow access to microphone on MacOS Desktop App (standalone dedicated Heidi app) - I use Heidi on my Mac to review letters and not dictate them so I do not want the microphone to automatically be on whenever the Heidi App is running. I have reverted to using the webpage on Chrome as I can't stand the pop up request to allow microphone every time I click on a new patient.
Heidi Team
Thanks for taking the time to share this — totally get how frustrating it is to be prompted for mic access multiple times a day when you’re only using Heidi to review letters.
We’ll share this feedback with the team. A couple quick questions to help us understand the best fix:
1) Are you seeing the mic permission prompt every time you open a patient, or only when you click into specific areas (e.g., dictation/transcribe fields)?
2) Would your ideal behavior be: no mic prompt unless you explicitly start dictation/recording?
3) Which macOS version and Heidi desktop app version are you on?
If you can share a screenshot of the prompt (and where you were in the app when it appeared), that’d help a lot too.
