Speech to Text

How to use Speech-to-Text in Chatbot — voice prompting via microphone, audio URL transcription, and direct audio file upload.

The Speech-to-Text tool lets you interact with the chatbot using your voice — either by dictating prompts directly via microphone, transcribing external audio from a URL, or uploading audio files directly. All Speech-to-Text features are accessible inside the Chatbot.


Voice Prompting via Microphone

Available on all plans — no extra credit cost

Instead of typing your prompt, speak it. Qolaba transcribes your voice input and places the text directly into the prompt box — ready to review and send.

How to use:

  1. Click the Mic button next to the Send button in the chat interface

  2. Speak your prompt clearly

  3. Click Confirm to transcribe or Cancel to discard

  4. The transcribed text appears in the prompt box — edit if needed, then send


Audio URL Transcription

Paste any valid audio URL directly into the chat and request a transcription. The model processes the link and returns a full text transcription of the audio.

How to use:

  1. Toggle Speech-to-Text on in the Toolkit panel

  2. Paste your audio URL into the chat prompt

  3. Request a transcription — e.g., "Transcribe this audio"
