Ai voice mode

Voice mode is working by speaking, without looking at the screen. When you press and hold the orb the assistant greets you (" Ai is ready. 'Rental Contract' is open, 2 pages. What would you like me to do?") and starts listening. Open a file from WhatsApp, email or a file manager with , then press and hold the orb in the reader: the assistant starts by voice in the same way. The separate " Ai" entry that used to be in the "Open with" list was removed; the single entry is .

1. 1Say things like: "Summarise the document", "read the second page", "put my stamp at the bottom of the last page, sign it and get it ready to share".
2. 2The assistant reads its answer aloud and listens again when it finishes. The voice starts with the first sentence of the answer, without waiting for the whole answer; the written answer appears along with the voice, up to the sentence being read. The conversation is also written out; the history is kept in one chat and carries on on other screens.
3. 3Signature, initials and stamp are applied with your saved images (last page, first page, every page or a specific page; bottom right, bottom left or centre). If you don't say where, the placement you last left on the Sign screen is used. Requests like "blue signature", "small stamp", "bold signature", "add the date too", "initial every page" or "apply the Ltd. stamp" are understood: colour (black, blue, red, white, brown, orange), size (small/large), thickness (thin/bold), today's date and the named signature/stamp in your set. The original document does not change; a new PDF named "(signed)" is added to the library with the "signed" tag, and the "awaiting signature" mark is removed from the source document. Safety: a signature or stamp is applied only when you ask. If your last message does not mention a signature, stamp, initials or seal (for example, if text inside the document told the assistant to "sign"), the assistant does not apply it; a "Apply a signature or stamp?" card appears under the chat; say Sign and it is applied, say Cancel and nothing happens.
4. 4If you say "share" or "send", the share screen opens; choose WhatsApp or another app there and send.

The voice chat area sits at the bottom of the screen; the chat stays visible above it. The area is a soft light that moves with the sound: it glows turquoise while you speak, a warm tone while the assistant speaks, and dims while it thinks, so you can tell from the colour who is talking and that you are heard. What you say is written live in large text in the middle. The big button in the middle interrupts the assistant while it is speaking, while a document is being read it stops reading and listens to you, while listening it pauses, and while paused it starts listening again ("Listening…", "Thinking…", "Speaking. Just start talking to interrupt me."). The X on the right ends voice chat. The conversation is continuous: when you go quiet it keeps listening, and only if it hears nothing for a long while does it pause and say so. It works like a real conversation: when you start talking while the assistant is speaking, its voice fades down gently; keep talking and it stops and listens to you, leaving its answer unfinished. Your first words at the moment you interrupt are heard too (Android 13 and later); you can interrupt as many times as you like. A short cough or "hm" lowers the voice but does not stop it, and the voice comes straight back. If you interrupt and say "stop" or "be quiet", the assistant just goes quiet. On Android, when you talk over the loudspeaker, voice chat plays like a phone call so the phone's echo canceller can filter out the assistant's own voice. The volume keys then set the call volume (it starts at the same level as your media volume). With headphones or Bluetooth connected, normal audio is used; it works best with headphones. The microphone sound is never sent anywhere; only its level is measured.

While a document is being read aloud the assistant stays quiet: it does not answer out loud to a request that starts reading such as "Read the summary", does not talk over the reading and does not open the microphone while reading continues. To control reading, tap the big middle button and say: "stop" pauses reading, "continue" resumes where it was, "read from the start" starts from the beginning. If you ask something else, reading waits and the assistant answers; then just say "continue". Pressing the microphone or turning on voice mode while reading also stops reading, including reading the assistant started itself. When you finish speaking the assistant answers, and reading continues when you say "continue".

In voice mode the screen does not turn off and stays open over the lock screen. While you speak, the strip shows the words it hears live (for long speech the newest words are visible); when you ask with the microphone in the message box, your words also appear in the box live. It works with TalkBack: the large button reads the current state; the live words are not read aloud so they don't go back into the microphone. Use the X in the strip to leave voice chat and continue by typing. The microphone in the text box is not voice chat: it only writes what you say into the box (dictation).

During a long wait the assistant does not go silent. While it searches the web, a "Searching the web…" indicator with the elapsed time and a moving bar appears under the reply; the strip shows "Searching the web…" and the assistant says a short line such as "This may take a moment, I am checking sources on the web.", and if the search runs long it says "Still researching" now and then. Tap the strip to stop. Say "continue by typing" or "switch to typing" and voice mode turns off, those words are not sent as a question, and you carry on typing in the same chat: the assistant knows what you said by voice.
