Voice orb (hands-free)
Full-screen-style voice session: listen → transcribe → respond; states include idle, listening, transcribing, thinking, speaking.
What this is
The voice orb starts a hands-free loop: listen, transcribe, think, then respond (spoken or in chat depending on your setting). Status text under the orb tells you which phase you are in.
How to use it
- Open the orb from the composer or header control (per your build).
- Wait for Listening, then speak naturally; pause briefly to end a phrase.
- Tap the orb to cancel long transcribe/think/speak phases when shown.
Notes and limits
Bluetooth headsets add latency; if transcripts cut off, pause slightly longer between sentences.
