If this feature is activated for your user, the following buttons will be available when editing a report:
Voice input indication:
A colored bar is displayed under the microphone icon, indicating if the user is speaking too loud, too silent or at a suitable level.
Color indication:
• Blue = Too low
• Green = Perfect
• Yellow = Acceptable

Optimal voice input
Voice input too high
When the voice input is reaching the color orange, the user will receive a toast message that says to lower the volume for better recognition.
"Your inout volume is too high. Please lower your volume to have better recognition.
It's advisable to adjust the input level on your device."
See the topics below on how to change this volume input.

In this case, the following key combinations need to be configured:
Functionality | Shortcut |
|---|---|
Play / Stop | ALT+F1 |
Start / stop fast forwarding | CTRL + ALT + F12 |
Start / stop rewinding | CTRL + ALT + F11 |
Synchronous playback:
If the user selects a word or phrase and presses play, the corresponding audio of the selected text is played.
Playback is stopped at the end of the selected text.
If the user has not made a selection but the cursor is at a certain location in the text and presses play, the audio will be played from the cursor position in the text.
Playback continues until the end of the text is reached.
If the user clicks stop during playback, the audio is stopped and the cursor will be located at the corresponding place in the text.
Saving of report audio
The report audio is saved in the background for performance reasons.
If the saving is still in progress when closing the browser tab, a warning message will be displayed.
It is still possible to close the tab, however the related audio file will be lost.
| Tip: For optimal recognition, it is recommended to set the microphone recording volume in the Windows sound settings quite low. This keeps the recording of background noise to a minimum. E.g. Speech Mike = 15 |

By hovering over the microphone icon, a configuration menu will appear which allows to
• Select the language (if more than 1 is configured)
