Overview

Voice Mode Interface Voice Mode lets you interact with Onyx using speech instead of text. Speak your questions and hear responses read back. Ideal for hands-free use, brainstorming, or quickly getting answers while multitasking.

​
Speech-to-Text

Voice Mode listening To use Voice Mode, click the microphone icon in the input bar. Onyx will begin listening for your input and transcribe your speech in real time.
  • Speak naturally: Onyx transcribes your speech as you talk.
  • Pause: Use the pause button to temporarily stop and resume when ready.
Voice Mode requires microphone access in your browser. You will be prompted to grant permission on first use.

​
Text-to-Speech

Voice Mode speaking Once your message is sent, Onyx generates a response and reads it back as audio. The full text is displayed alongside the audio playback. Read Aloud button If you don’t have auto-playback enabled, you can press the Read Aloud button to have the response read back to you.

User Settings

You can configure your voice preferences in the user settings panel: Voice Mode Settings
  • Auto-send: Automatically sends your message when you stop speaking, so you don’t need to click send.
  • Auto-playback: When enabled, the microphone will automatically start listening again as soon as the response finishes speaking, enabling a continuous hands-free flow. If auto-playback is off, the response is generated as text only and must be played manually.
  • Speed: Adjust the playback speed of voice responses with a slider ranging from 0.5x (slower) to 2x (faster).
