Composer microphone
Push-to-talk in the composer sends audio for transcription and fills the input (separate from the orb flow).
What this is
Composer microphone is push-to-talk: hold or click the mic in the composer, speak, release to send audio for transcription; text lands in the input field for editing before send.
How to use it
- Grant microphone permission when the browser prompts.
- Edit the transcript if words are wrong, then press send normally.
- This path is separate from the full-screen voice orb loop.
Notes and limits
Poor network drops uploads; watch for inline errors and retry.
