How do I sync between Windows and Android/iOS?

VoicePad syncs your dictations across all your devices over your local WiFi — **no cloud, no servers, no IP addresses to configure.** Auto-discovery via mDNS finds your devices for you. **What syncs:** - ✅ Transcription text - ✅ Timestamps, word counts, durations - 🔜 Personal dictionary (coming soon) - 🔜 Settings (coming soon) - ❌ Audio (never — stays on the device that recorded it) **Setup on Windows:** 1. Open VoicePad Windows → Settings → Mobile Sync 2. Toggle WiFi Sync **ON** 3. Allow VoicePad through Windows Firewall if prompted (port 7777) **Setup on Android:** 1. Open VoicePad Android → Settings → Sync 2. Toggle WiFi Sync **ON** 3. Wait 10–30 seconds — devices find each other automatically **Setup on iOS:** Same as Android. Settings → Sync → WiFi Sync → ON. **Two critical requirements:** 1. **Both devices on the same WiFi network.** Not mobile data. Not guest networks. Not 2.4GHz on one device and 5GHz on another (some routers separate these). 2. **Windows Firewall must allow VoicePad on port 7777.** If sync fails, this is usually why. **Sync direction matrix:** - ✅ Android ↔ Windows - ✅ iPhone ↔ Windows - ✅ iPhone ↔ macOS - ✅ Android ↔ macOS - ❌ Android ↔ iOS direct (not supported — bridge via Windows/Mac) - ❌ Windows ↔ macOS direct (not supported) **Pull dictations FROM Windows TO Android:** Sometimes Windows has dictations your phone doesn't. On Android: Settings → Sync → **Import from Windows App**. Pulls everything missing. For USB sync (one-way, Android → Windows, no WiFi needed) and full sync troubleshooting, see [Help Center → Cross-Platform Sync](https://voicepad.tech/help/#sync).
