# Voice Input

> Dictate into the composer in Chrome instead of typing.

Speak your request instead of typing. Replo transcribes into the composer as you talk, so you can review the text before you send it.

<Note>
  Voice input only works in Chrome. Other browsers do not show the microphone button, and the shortcut does nothing.
</Note>

## Dictate a message

1. In Chrome, click the **microphone** button in the composer, or press `⌘⌥M` (`Ctrl+Alt+M` on Windows).
2. Speak your request.
3. Click the button again (or press the shortcut again) to stop. The transcript stays in the input so you can edit it.
4. Press Enter or click send when it looks right. Voice input never sends on its own.

The same mic works in [select mode](/features/edit-mode). It is one session shared between the two composers: start dictating with an element selected, then click back into the main chat, and it keeps listening instead of cutting out.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why don't I see a microphone button?">
    Open Replo in Chrome. The button and shortcut are hidden in other browsers because they rely on Chrome's built-in voice recording.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Replo store my audio?">
    No. When Chrome has its on-device speech model installed, audio stays on your computer. Otherwise Chrome's speech service processes it. Replo never receives or stores the recording.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which languages work?">
    Transcription uses your browser's voice recording. Supported languages follow Chrome, not a Replo setting.
