Voice

Dictate messages instead of typing, fix them by voice, and have replies read aloud.

Dictate a message

Tap the microphone in the composer, or, on a keyboard, hold Space. A quick tap still types a space; holding it starts recording, and letting go stops.

While you talk, a small bar shows the recording time, and your words appear in the composer as you speak. The text stays editable: fix a word by hand, or add to it, before you send. Discard recording throws the recording away.

Fix it by voice

You can correct yourself while dictating. Say "scratch that", "remove the last sentence" or "no wait, make it Tuesday", and the text changes instead of growing. Anything that's meant for the agent, like "delete the unused imports", stays in the message.

If it doesn't work out

If supermux didn't catch what you said, the recording isn't lost: choose Retry, Send as audio to attach the recording instead, or Dismiss.

Where your speech is turned into text

DeviceWhere
Desktop app and browserOn the computer that runs your agents
iPhone, iPad and AndroidYour choice under Settings ▸ Voice ▸ Transcription: on that computer, or On this device

On a phone, the default is the computer when it has a ChatGPT sign-in for Codex, and the phone itself otherwise.

Speech engines

On the computer, Settings ▸ Voice offers these engines:

EngineWhat it uses
Codex Realtime (ChatGPT) (default)OpenAI's speech service, with your ChatGPT sign-in for Codex
Claude Code voiceAnthropic's speech service, with your Claude sign-in
Cursor voiceCursor's speech service, with your Cursor sign-in
Whisper (local)Whisper on your own computer. Also used when another engine fails.

With the first three, your audio goes to that company, under your own sign-in. Whisper keeps it on your computer.

Tidy-up, languages and your own words

  • Cleanup: a model tidies up the raw transcript before it reaches the composer. Pick the Cleanup engine and Cleanup model in Settings ▸ Voice.
  • Languages: Auto-detect, or pick the languages you speak. Pick several if you mix them.
  • Glossary: add the names dictation keeps getting wrong, like your project's or your colleagues'. The list is shared across your devices.

Have replies read aloud

Every reply from an agent has a Read aloud button next to Copy response. Tap Stop reading to stop.

Choose the voice in Settings ▸ Voice ▸ Read aloud:

  • Device (system voice): your phone's or computer's own voice. The default.
  • ChatGPT (Codex login): a voice from ChatGPT, using the Codex sign-in on your computer.

Preview plays a short sample.

On an Apple Watch, you can also dictate a message to a session from your wrist.
