Converse with AI Without Using Your Hands
While cooking, driving, holding a baby—AI is exactly useful when both hands are full. Here's how to use voice input and read-aloud.
3 Ways of Voice Input
1. AI App's Voice Conversation Mode
The most natural and popular way. Speak and AI replies by voice.
- ChatGPT: tap the voice-conversation icon (headphone shape)
- Gemini: mic button, or "OK Google"
- Claude: voice input in the iOS / Android app
2. OS Standard Voice Input
Voice-to-text with the keyboard's mic button, send to the AI screen.
- iOS: keyboard mic icon
- Android: Gboard mic button
3. Dedicated Apps
- Whisper (OpenAI): high-accuracy speech recognition
- Otter / Notta: meeting recording → transcription
Voice Read-Aloud (Hear AI's Reply)
