Talking to CORA

You can speak a message instead of typing it. The microphone button in the chat composer turns your speech into text, which you can read and edit before you send it.

Speak a message

1. Start with an empty composer. The microphone button sits where the send button appears once you type.
2. Press and hold the button, speak, and release. You can also click once to start and click again to stop.
3. CORA transcribes the recording and puts the text in the composer. If you had already typed something, the new text is added after it.
4. Check the text, fix anything that was misheard, and send.

While you record, the button turns red. While CORA transcribes, it shows a spinner.

Microphone permission

The first time you use it, your browser asks for permission to use the microphone. If access is denied, a short message appears under the button. Allow the microphone for CORA in your browser settings and try again.

Good to know

• Voice input is speech to text only. CORA answers in writing, just as she does for a typed message.
• It is meant for short messages. For a meeting, use Record meeting from the plus menu at the top of the sidebar.
• Speech is transcribed in the EU, by Azure AI Speech in Sweden Central, unless CORA has turned on Flexible processing for your workspace. If that route is not available, CORA says so when you try, and no audio is sent anywhere.
