Dictate instead of typing
Speak to the assistant or in a task, and Prior turns your voice into text you can check before it goes anywhere.
Dictation turns what you say into text. The words land in the box as a draft, so you can read and correct them before you send anything.
Dictate
- Click the microphone next to the text box.
- Allow the microphone if your browser or system asks.
- Speak. A waveform moves while it records.
- Click stop. Prior transcribes, then puts the text in the box.
- Read it, fix what needs fixing, and send.
You can Cancel while it records, and nothing is kept.
Good to know
- The recording is not kept. It goes to the transcription service to become text, and Prior does not store it. See AI and privacy.
- If it fails, you see a message and can go on typing. Check that the microphone is allowed for Prior in your system settings.
- Some browsers and devices cannot record: the button then says voice input is unavailable.
