If ELSA is having trouble hearing you, try the following

  • Make sure you permitted ELSA to use the Microphone 
    • From your Android phone, open the "Settings" app -> Go to "App and select ELSA" => Tap App Permissions on the App Info screen. => You will see a list of permissions the app requests. Tap the toggles to ON.
  • Make sure you have the latest version of ELSA. Go to your App Store/ CH Play and click on Update. 
  • Make sure your internet connection is good. Wifi might be down. Cell phone coverage might be low.
  • If you did the steps above and it still doesn't work, please try these:
  1. Could you please first try switching your network? For example, if you had been connecting to WiFi, kindly switch to 3G / 4G; if you had been connecting to 3G / 4G, kindly switch to WiFi to see if there is any improvement in loading speed.
  2. Please visit this website to check your Internet connection as ELSA runs smoothly at 25Mbps at least. (Video lessons require a higher Internet speed ~40Mbps).
  3. If the above does not work, kindly try re-installing the app to see if it helps. Please be reminded that the graph in your Progress / Coach tab will reset after re-installation. However, you may rest assured that your progress will be saved.
