Voice dictation allows you to speak your requests instead of typing them manually. This feature helps you interact with One more quickly and naturally, especially when you're on the go or working from a mobile device. In this article, you'll learn how Voice dictation works and how to use it in One.
Overview
Voice dictation enables you to speak directly to One and automatically converts your voice into text. Before the message is sent, you can review and edit the transcribed text if needed.
One automatically detects the language being spoken and transcribes the request accordingly, making it easier for multilingual teams to communicate in their preferred language.
When and why it should be used
Use Voice Dictation when you want to:
- Start conversations with One more quickly
- Ask questions in a more natural and detailed way

How to use
- Open One

If your speech is not being transcribed correctly, speak clearly and avoid excessive background noise, check that your microphone is working correctly and review and edit the transcription before sending.
If the microphone is not working, confirm that your browser or device has permission to access the microphone and refresh the page or restart the application and try again.
