Speech
Dictate a message instead of typing it, and have replies read aloud. It works out of the box in a modern browser.
NuFi can turn your voice into a message and read replies back to you. Nothing has to be set up by your organisation: by default the app uses the speech engine built into your browser.
Guide: Go hands-free with voice.
Voice in
Voice out
Click the speaker under any reply (see the answer toolbar) and it is read aloud.
Hands-free
Open the avatar menu → Settings → Speech:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto send text | Sends the message as soon as you stop speaking |
| Autoplay Latest Message | Reads every reply aloud as it arrives |
| Conversation Mode | Both at once, in a loop: you speak, it answers, it listens again |
| Engine | Which speech engine to use, for dictation and for reading. Browser is the default |
| Voice | The voice replies are read in |
| Language | The language you dictate in |
| Audio Playback Rate | Faster or slower reading |
Turn on Conversation Mode for true hands-free use.
Languages
Dictation uses the language set on the Speech tab, and reading uses the voice chosen there — not the app's display language. Most browsers offer English, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and the major European languages.
Privacy
With the default Browser engine, your audio goes wherever your browser sends it for recognition; in Chrome that is Google's speech service. If your organisation has connected its own engine, the audio goes there instead. For anything sensitive, type it, or keep Auto send text off so you can read the transcript before it goes.
Common issues
- No microphone icon — your browser does not support speech recognition. Chrome and Edge do; Safari and Firefox only partly.
- Permission denied — click the lock icon in the address bar and allow the microphone.
- It sounds robotic — that is the browser's built-in voice. Pick a different one under Voice, or ask your administrator whether a better engine is available.
