Help: Voice¶✎ edit
Voice lets you dictate into Thoughts and into a chat with your AI, and run them by saying commands. Tap 🎙 once: it stays on, red and pulsing, until you tap it again or say ok stop.
How it works¶✎ edit
- Your words stream into the box as you speak, grey until the browser is sure of them.
- Commands start with "ok" and a command from the list; an "ok" before anything else stays as text: "…the toast never shows ok new bug the drafts page is slow ok save".
- A small chip shows each command it heard, so you can see what it did.
- To say "ok" before a command word, say it twice: ok ok types "ok".
- It also hears okay and o k as ok (the commands are in Settings,
voice.commands, where you can add your own).
In Thoughts¶✎ edit
| Say | It does |
|---|---|
| ok new thought | ends the thought so far and starts a new one |
| ok new bug · ok new feature · ok new idea · ok new note | the same, the new thought tagged #bug, #feature, #idea or #note |
| ok tag X | tags the current thought #X |
| ok to designer (or any role) | addresses the thought, as @designer |
| ok send it | sends the current thought to who it's addressed to |
| ok save · ok save it | saves everything in the box, one thought per ok new…, and keeps listening |
| ok cancel | drops what's in the box, unsaved |
| ok stop | stops listening |
Which ones reach your streak: a thought tagged #bug, #feature or #idea goes into your streak, ready to send to your designer. A #note, or a plain ok new thought, stays in your locker; promote it with ^^ if you want it sent.
In a chat¶✎ edit
Start a chat from the chat button's + New (or a role on the Agents page), then tap 🎙.
| Say | It does |
|---|---|
| ok send | sends what you said (a pause of 2 s also sends, see Settings) |
| ok mind meld on · ok meld on | your AI may take this tab to what it's working on ([[Help:ESP |
| ok mind meld off · ok meld off | stops that |
| ok done | ends the chat; your AI writes a short summary and goes back to its work |
| ok stop | stops listening; the chat stays open |
Good to know¶✎ edit
- Which browsers: Chrome, Edge and Safari, on computers, iPad and Android. Firefox doesn't offer it yet.
- Where your voice goes: the browser turns speech into text with its maker's service (Google for Chrome, Microsoft for Edge, Apple for Safari); d2 only receives the text.
- The first time, the browser asks to use the microphone; allow it for this site.
- It stops by itself after 20 seconds without speech, or when the tab sleeps; tap 🎙 to start again.
- Commands are in English for now.
