Voice typing

What is the Voice typing tool?

Voice typing (commonly referred to as Speech-to-Text) converts spoken words into written text in real time. Instead of keyboard typing, you can speak to add a text annotation to your Kami document.

Voice typing supports all learners, especially those who find traditional typing challenging or express ideas more effectively through speech.

How to use Voice typing

There are two ways to use Voice typing in Kami: 

From the Comment tool

Select the Comment tool from the Kami toolbar, then click on the page to create a comment anchor point.

In the comment box that appears on the right side of the page, you can find the Voice typing icon to start recording your voice, which is automatically transcribed as text in the comment. 

From the Text Box tool

Select the Text box tool from the Kami toolbar, then click on the page to add your text box.

Once added, select the Action menu icon (...) to expand the Action menu.

Now, select the Voice typing icon to start recording your voice, which automatically converts to text in the text box. 

Alternatively, you can select the microphone icon in the Text formatting bar at the top of the screen to enable Voice typing.
