Ask questions about your data without typing a single character. Voice input on iOS lets you dictate messages, review the transcript, and send — useful for quick queries while multitasking or when a full keyboard is inconvenient.
Voice input transcribes your speech locally on-device using iOS speech recognition. The transcribed text is inserted into the chat input for review before sending — nothing is sent automatically.
Dictate a message hands-free and confirm the transcript before sending, reducing friction for quick questions like "How many rows in the pageviews table?" or "Show me the top audiences by size."
- iOS only — voice input is not available on Web or Desktop
- Microphone permission granted to Treasure AI Studio in iOS Settings
- Tap the microphone button in the chat input toolbar (next to the Send button)
- The voice input interface opens, replacing the standard text input
- Speak your message — Studio transcribes your speech in real time
- Review the transcript displayed at the bottom of the voice input area
- Tap the checkmark button to confirm and insert the text into the chat input
- Tap the X button to cancel and return to the standard input without inserting any text
When voice input is active, you see:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Waveform visualization | A 50-bar audio waveform that responds to your voice level in real time |
| Recording indicator | A pulsing red dot that indicates active recording |
| Elapsed timer | Shows how long you have been recording (e.g., "0:05", "1:23") |
| Transcript preview | Your transcribed speech appears at the bottom, updated as you speak (up to 2 lines visible) |
| Confirm button | Checkmark icon — inserts the transcript into the chat input |
| Cancel button | X icon — discards the recording and returns to the standard input |
When you tap the checkmark button:
- The transcribed text is inserted into the chat input area
- If you already had text in the input, the voice transcript is appended to the existing text (separated by a space)
- The voice input interface closes and the standard chat input returns
- You can edit the inserted text before sending, or send immediately
Voice input does not automatically send the message. You always have a chance to review and edit before tapping Send.
Voice input requires microphone access on your iOS device. The first time you use it, iOS prompts you to grant microphone permission to Treasure AI Studio.
If microphone permission was previously denied:
- Open the iOS Settings app
- Scroll to Treasure AI Studio
- Enable Microphone access
- Return to the app and try voice input again
Voice input uses your device's speech recognition engine. The transcription language is determined by your device settings.
Voice input uses on-device audio recording with real-time metering (driving the waveform visualization) and on-device speech recognition for transcription.
- Tap the microphone and see the waveform respond to your voice
- See a real-time transcript appear at the bottom of the voice input area
- Tap the checkmark and see the transcript inserted into the chat input field
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Waveform doesn't respond to your voice | Check that microphone permission is granted in iOS Settings > Treasure AI Studio > Microphone. If permission was recently changed, restart the app |
| Transcript is empty or inaccurate | Speak clearly at a natural pace. Background noise reduces accuracy. iOS speech recognition works best in quiet environments |
| Voice input button not visible | Voice input is available on Mobile (iOS) only. It does not appear on Web or Desktop |
Combine voice input with typing. Start typing a complex message, then tap the microphone to dictate the rest — the transcript appends to your existing text.
