Voice input
Dictate commands into the in-app terminal on iOS and Android.
- Mobile
The mobile app’s terminal includes a built-in voice input button. Tap the mic on the in-app terminal keyboard, speak, and your words appear in the terminal command line.
Where it works today
Voice input is wired into the terminal keyboard. It does not currently appear in the chat composer, the new-session prompt, or the team channel composer; we plan to expand it.
On iOS
The terminal voice button uses the device’s speech recognition. Tap the mic on the in-app keyboard, speak, and the transcription appears in the command line.
On Android
Same flow; Android uses Google’s speech recognition or your device’s selected speech provider. The first time, Android asks for microphone permission. Grant it once and it remembers.
What works well
- Short shell commands.
- Quick path or filename dictation in the terminal.
- One-handed use.
What doesn’t work as well
- Special characters like
{,},<, and/are unreliable — you’ll often have to clean up the dictation before sending. - Long code snippets.
Privacy
Voice transcription happens on your device (on iOS, mostly; on Android, depends on the engine you’ve selected). Glueprint never receives raw audio; we only see the final text.
