Voice Input

Speak your messages instead of typing. No API key, no setup — dictation runs natively wherever you're using Ensoul.

Using the microphone

Tap the microphone icon in the message box to start speaking. Your words are transcribed and appear in the input field — tap again to stop. You can edit the transcription before sending; voice input just fills the text box the same way typing does.

Settings → Voice. Dictation needs nothing configured — it's active by default wherever it's supported.

How it works per platform

Web

Uses the browser's own speech recognition (the Web Speech API). Works in Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Firefox doesn't support it — use a different browser for dictation there.

Desktop & Mobile

Uses the operating system's own native speech recognition — no browser involved, and no server round trip either.

Troubleshooting

The mic doesn't respond: check that your browser or the app has microphone permission.
Firefox shows no mic button: Firefox doesn't support the Web Speech API — use Chrome, Edge, or Safari, or use the desktop/mobile app instead.
Transcription is inaccurate: quality depends on your device, environment, and accent — this comes from the browser or OS's own speech engine, not Ensoul.
