Overview

Voice is offering users a seamless way to convert spoken audio into real-time transcriptions. This capability lets users speak their prompts instead of typing, enhancing accessibility and interaction within AI-powered experiences.

Who it’s for

• Mobile users that are on-the-go

• Users who prefer speaking over typing

• Accessibility-conscious product teams

• Enterprises needing secure and compliant transcription

Benefits

Speed & Efficiency
Speaking is often faster than typing, allowing users to input prompts more quickly — especially helpful for long or complex queries.

Hands-Free Operation
Ideal for multitasking or mobile workflows where typing may be impractical or disruptive.

Natural Language Input
Encourages more conversational, free-form prompts, which align well with how GPT-based systems interpret intent.

Accessibility
Enables users with motor impairments, temporary injuries, or vision difficulties to interact more easily with AI systems.

Reduced Cognitive Load
Users can focus on articulating their ideas instead of editing text as they type.

Example Use cases

Financial Analysts on the Move
Analysts commuting or walking between meetings can speak questions like “What’s the impact of today’s Fed announcement on bond yields?” into the prompt box without stopping to type.

Executive Summarization
A manager uses voice to say: “Summarize Q1 performance highlights from our internal reports and flag any anomalies,”.

Customer Service Triage
Agents can dictate incoming customer questions directly into the system — useful for hands-busy environments or for real-time escalation.

Step-by-Step Guide

• Locate the Microphone Icon

  • Visit a chat in the app that includes a text input.

  • Look for the microphone icon on the right side of the input.

Open

• Click to Activate Voice Input

  • Click the microphone icon to begin recording.

  • You may be prompted to grant microphone access if it’s your first time using the feature.

Open

• Speak Your Prompt

  • Clearly speak your message or prompt.

  • You’ll see the transcribed text appear in the input field as you talk — in near real time¹.
    
    Privacy Note: Voice data is not stored. It is transcribed in real time and discarded immediately after transcription.

• Stick to one language
  Do not switch between languages during your single prompts as the models can not yet handle these transitions easily. Some anglicism might be okay but refrain from speaking successive sentences in different languages.

Open

• Finish and Submit

  • Once you’ve finished speaking, click the "Stop“ button to stop recording.

    • Note: The system does not automatically stop listening; it will continue to capture input until you manually stop.

  • Review Before Sending

    • After speaking, always check the transcribed text in the prompt box — you can edit anything before submitting it.

  • Review and optionally edit the transcribed text.

  • Press Enter or click “Send” to submit your prompt.

Tips & Tricks

Tap, Speak, Send
Use the microphone icon to quickly input long or complex prompts hands-free. Especially useful for mobile workflows or when referencing multiple variables aloud.

Speak Naturally
The system is optimized for natural language. Don’t worry about being overly formal — just talk as if you're asking a colleague.

Pause for Clarity
Brief pauses help improve transcription accuracy and let the system segment your speech correctly (useful for multi-part prompts).

Combine With Keyboard if Necessary
Speak the main part of your prompt, then use the keyboard to fine-tune or add parameters (e.g., “... but exclude any data before 2020”).

If you don’t see the microphone toggle, please double check the following:

1. You’re using a supported browser.

2. You’ve granted microphone permissions.

Limitations

We currently support four languages: English, German, French, and Italian. English and German work better, with fewer mistakes.

French and Italian have some challenges, like:

• Emotion and Tone: Sometimes the feeling or tone isn't captured correctly.

• Regional Dialects: Different accents can cause errors.

• Symbols and Numbers: These can be tricky to transcribe.

• Shouted or Slow Speech: Loud or slow talking might lead to mistakes.

• Homophones and Ambiguity: Words that sound alike or unclear meanings can be confusing.

• Context and Conversation: Understanding the flow of conversation can be difficult.

Our solution uses Microsoft’s Azure Text-to-Speech, so we're limited by what it can do. We'll update and improve as new features become available.
