Speech
Talk to the app hands-free and have replies read aloud.
NUFI can turn your voice into a message and read replies back out loud — handy when your hands are busy, you're on the move, or typing is uncomfortable.
Voice in — talk instead of type
If there's no microphone icon, your organisation hasn't connected a voice-to-text engine — ask your admin.
Voice out — have replies read aloud
Click the 🔊 speaker icon in the toolbar under any reply (see the answer toolbar). The reply is read aloud as it streams in.
Hands-free mode
Open the avatar menu (bottom-left) → Settings → Speech to enable:
- Auto-send — when you stop talking, the message sends automatically. No tap needed.
- Auto-play — every reply is read aloud as it arrives.
Turn on both for true hands-free use — you talk, NUFI answers, you talk again. Great for the car, a walk, or cooking.
Languages
Voice input detects the language you speak automatically. Voice output uses the app's language (Settings → General → Language). Most major languages work out of the box — English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and most European languages.
A note on privacy
Voice in and out send audio out of your deployment to a speech provider. For anything sensitive, type it instead — or keep auto-send off so you can review the text before sending.
Common issues
- Microphone permission denied — your browser is blocking the mic. Click the lock icon in the address bar and allow microphone access.
- Audio sounds robotic — that's the speech engine. Some organisations connect a higher-quality one; ask your admin.
- Voice output cuts off — your network dropped briefly. NUFI picks up from where it stopped on the next reply.
