Voice messages say when no speech was heard
For everyone who works with an AI employee
Part of Chat with your AI employees on your phone and tablet
Voice messages to your AI employee now say plainly what happened. A recording without speech says so, more recordings are turned into text, and live voice is one tap away on your phone.
Why it matters
When you talk instead of typing, you know at once whether your AI employee heard you. If it did not, you can record again or check your headset, without guessing what went wrong.
- Before
- A recording that picked up no speech, for example from a headset that did not hear you, showed a transcription error, and a quick tap could swallow your next voice message.
- Now
- When a voice message holds no speech, the chat says so and names the microphone if your device reports it.
What you get
- Silence explained: when a recording holds no speech, for example when a Bluetooth headset or car kit is connected but did not pick up your voice, the chat says so and names the microphone if your device reports it.
- A second try at the text: a recording that could not be turned into text on the first try gets a second try, so more voice messages arrive as text.
- A quick tap is harmless: a quick tap on the microphone does not swallow the voice message you record next, and a recording cancelled while the microphone starts does not break the next one.
- A fresh microphone: if your phone silenced the microphone, the next voice message opens it again instead of recording silence.
- A clear upload: while a voice message is sending, the attachment above the message field shows its file type, not a broken picture.
- Live voice one tap away: on your phone, the live voice button sits next to the microphone in the chat with your AI employee, and on iPhone live voice starts listening sooner.
How to use it
Record a voice message
In the chat with your AI employee, press and hold the microphone next to the message field, speak, and let go to send.
If no speech was heard
When the chat says No speech was heard in this recording, check which microphone it names. If it is a headset or car kit you are not speaking into, disconnect it or switch to your phone's microphone, then record again.
Talk live instead
Tap the sound-wave button next to the microphone to start live voice, a spoken conversation with your AI employee.
Good to know
- The live voice button steps aside while you type and comes back when the message field is empty.
