Dictating a message with voice input Guide

When typing is inconvenient, you can dictate your message to the AI Assistant instead. Tap the microphone, speak naturally, and your words are transcribed into the message box so you can review and edit them before sending.

What voice input does

Voice input, or dictation, turns your speech into text inside the composer. It does not send anything on its own and it is not a spoken conversation with the assistant. Instead, it simply fills the message box with what you say, exactly as if you had typed it, so you stay in full control of the final wording.

This makes dictation ideal when you are on the go, away from a keyboard, or want to capture a longer request without typing it all out.

Dictate a message step by step

1. Open a chat with the AI Assistant.
2. Tap the microphone button in the message composer. Your browser may ask for permission to use your microphone the first time — allow it to continue.
3. Speak your request clearly. As you talk, your words appear as text in the message box.
4. Tap the microphone again to stop dictation when you are finished.
5. Review the transcribed text and edit anything that needs fixing — you can correct words, add detail, or reword freely.
6. Press Send (or Enter) when the message reads the way you want.

Tip: Dictation and typing work together. You can dictate the bulk of a message, then finish or tidy it up with the keyboard before sending.

Editing before you send

Because dictated text lands in the composer rather than sending immediately, you always get a chance to review it. This is the moment to catch any words that were misheard, add context the assistant will need, or split a rambling thought into a clearer request.

Take a quick read before sending — a few seconds of editing usually gets you a sharper reply.

Dictation versus live voice chat

Praxivara offers two different ways to use your voice, and it helps to know which one you want:

• Voice input (dictation) fills the message box with your spoken words so you can edit and then send. The assistant only responds after you send, just like a typed message.
• Live voice chat is a hands-free, two-way spoken conversation: you talk and the assistant talks back in real time. Use this when you want to have a back-and-forth out loud rather than compose a single message.

If you only want to get text into the composer, choose dictation. If you want a real spoken conversation, start a live voice session instead.

Troubleshooting

The microphone button isn't working

Voice input relies on your browser's speech features, which are available in most modern browsers. If you don't see the microphone or it doesn't respond, try a current version of a mainstream browser, or use live voice chat as an alternative.

Microphone permission was denied

If you accidentally blocked microphone access, dictation cannot capture your speech. Open your browser's site settings for Praxivara, allow microphone access, then reload the page and try again. On mobile, also confirm the browser app itself has permission to use the microphone in your device settings.

Dictation stops on its own or mishears words

Dictation can pause during long silences or in noisy environments. For the most accurate results, speak in a quiet space, keep a steady pace, and enunciate clearly. If a word comes out wrong, just fix it in the composer before sending — editing the text is part of the flow.

Nothing appears when I speak

Make sure the correct microphone is selected in your browser or device, that it isn't muted, and that no other app is holding exclusive use of it. Then tap the microphone button again and speak.

Note: Whatever ends up in the composer is what gets sent. Dictation never sends a message for you, so you always have the final say before the assistant sees it.
