## 🔧 Troubleshooting
### Windows GPU Acceleration
VoiceTypr automatically detects and uses your GPU for faster transcription. If you're experiencing slower performance:
**Update your graphics drivers** - This is the most common fix:
- [NVIDIA Drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/drivers)
- [AMD Drivers](https://www.amd.com/support)
- [Intel Drivers](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/80939/graphics.html)
> **Note**: VoiceTypr always works - it automatically falls back to CPU if GPU acceleration is unavailable
