You can talk to your assistant instead of typing. dGENIX has two voice modes: Voice Memo (quick dictation) and Voice Call (a fully spoken conversation).
Voice Memo, quick dictation
When to use it? When you want to send a question or command quickly without typing. Your assistant replies with text in the chat.
How it works:
- Click the microphone icon to the right of the text field in the chat
- Speak your question or command
- Click again to stop
- Your question is converted to text and processed
- The answer appears as text in the chat
Credit cost: transcription + AI processing, roughly 25-200 cr depending on the command.
Voice Call, a fully spoken conversation
When to use it? When you really want a conversation with your assistant, ask, listen, respond, without typing. The assistant speaks its answers aloud.
How it works:
- Click the sound-waves icon to the right of the text field
- An animated orb screen opens, this is the Voice Call interface
- Speak your question or command
- The assistant processes and speaks the answer back
- After the answer it listens again straight away, no clicking needed
- Click "Hang up" to end the call
The orb: the animated sphere reacts to sound, it pulses when you speak, settles when you are quiet and moves while the assistant is thinking.
Text shown in parallel: while the assistant speaks, its answer also appears as text on screen.
Voice Call credit cost:
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| Transcribe your question | ~5-20 cr |
| AI processing (Haiku) | ~25-50 cr |
| Spoken answer ~500 chars | ~1,375 cr |
| Spoken answer ~1,000 chars | ~2,750 cr |
Voice Call uses more credits than typing, mainly because of text-to-speech.
Setting a voice
You choose which voice your assistant uses for Voice Chat. Go to Settings -> AI Assistant -> Voice.
There are two groups:
- Dutch voices, for use on
app.dgenix.nl - English voices, for use on
app.dgenix.com
The voices are powered by ElevenLabs, one of the most realistic text-to-speech systems available.
Voice messages via Telegram
If you have the Telegram add-on, you can also send voice messages via Telegram:
- Send a voice message to @dGENIXbot
- The assistant transcribes it automatically
- It processes the command and replies as text in Telegram
Telegram voice messages do not return a spoken answer (that is only in Voice Call via the dashboard).
Tips
For the best transcription:
- Speak clearly and not too fast
- Be in a quiet environment
- Finish your sentence before you stop
Voice Memo or Voice Call?
- Use Voice Memo for short commands ("create a calendar appointment", "write an email")
- Use Voice Call for a full conversation, brainstorming or discussion
Be credit-aware: Voice Call is the most expensive channel. It is most enjoyable for longer conversations. For short commands, typing or Voice Memo is more efficient.
