Use Voice Controls In Chat
Start voice from the Chat composer, read the status labels, mute or stop the session, and watch the countdown near the session limit.
Start voice#
Open Chat and click the microphone button in the composer. The first time, your browser asks for microphone permission.
Status labels#
The status label tells you which part of the session you are in:
| Label | What is happening |
|---|---|
| Requesting microphone | The browser is asking for mic permission. |
| Connecting | Permission is granted and the session is starting. |
| Listening | dreamif.ai is hearing you. |
| Working | It is running a tool or thinking through your request. |
| Speaking | It is talking back. |
| Muted | Your mic is off and nothing you say is heard. |
| Ending voice | The session is closing down. |
If the mic never connects, a dialog titled "Allow microphone access for this site" opens with steps for your browser. See Fix microphone access.
Mute or unmute#
Click the mute toggle in the voice bar. While muted the status reads Muted, and dreamif.ai keeps the session open without hearing you.
Stop the session#
Click the red stop button to end voice. The transcript stays in the thread.
Read the transcript#
What you say and what dreamif.ai says back appear as chat bubbles in the thread while you talk, so you can scroll back through a voice session the same way you would a typed one.
Watch the countdown#
A voice session runs up to about an hour. Once ten minutes or less remain, a countdown appears in the voice bar reading "M:SS left", and at the end it reads "Time's up".
That countdown is for the current session, not your monthly voice allowance. For the monthly side, see Voice limit reached.
Switch to a phone call#
When the composer is empty and phone voice access is on, a Call by phone button takes the place of Send. Phone minutes draw on the same voice quota and the same session cap. See Call dreamif.ai by phone.
