Updated August 3, 2026 · 8 minAlways provide text
Transcription and written responses let users verify understanding. Keep text chat as an accessible alternative and for noisy environments.
Explain interaction
Keep Hold to talk visible and clearly indicate recording and transcription states.
Reduce perceived waiting
Keep initial responses concise. Audio is generated after text, so unnecessary length also delays playback.
Protect privacy
Warn against dictating sensitive information in public. Request microphone access only when chosen and stop capture on release.
Test real conditions
Include mobile devices, headsets, built-in microphones, moderate noise, slow connections, and varied accents. Validate both audio comprehension and answer usefulness.
