Speech‑to‑Text (Walkie‑Talkie)
Use Speech‑to‑Text (STT) to dictate messages directly into the chat composer. Click to start/stop listening; short pauses finalize the text for you.
Start dictation
- In the chat composer, click the STT mic button (Walkie‑Talkie).
- Speak your message. You’ll see text appear in the input.
- Click the mic button again to stop, or pause briefly — STT will finalize automatically.
- Press Send, or enable auto‑submit to send immediately.
Keyboard shortcut: Press Ctrl+M to toggle STT on/off.
Providers & languages
- STT can run with different providers depending on your workspace settings:
- Native (browser built‑in)
- Local Whisper (on‑device)
- Cloud STT (e.g., Groq)
- Choose your preferred language from the language selector next to the mic.
Auto‑submit (optional)
- Enable “Auto‑submit speech input” to send your dictated message as soon as it finalizes.
- Otherwise, you can edit the text in the input and click Send when ready.
Tips
- Speak clearly and at a steady pace
- Pause briefly between sentences for best results
- Use a quiet environment or headset microphone when possible
Troubleshooting
- Mic access was denied
- Allow the microphone in your browser permissions and try again.
- Nothing appears while speaking
- Ensure your input device is correct and not muted in your OS audio settings.
