Voice Input
How it works
Open the Vikk AI app on iOS or Android, tap the microphone icon, and speak your question. Vikk AI transcribes in real time, interprets your legal question, and responds either in text or (if you prefer) read aloud. On the web app, voice input works via your browser's built-in speech recognition.
When voice input shines
- Commuting: Get legal information hands-free while driving or on transit.
- On the go: Quick questions while walking, shopping, or handling other tasks.
- Hands occupied: At a job site, while cooking, while holding a child, while working with physical documents.
- Long questions: Dictating a detailed scenario is faster than typing it for most people.
- Accessibility: Voice is essential for users with mobility or visual impairments. It is also helpful for users who struggle with typing in a second language but can speak it fluently.
- Voice-first users: Many users in their fifties and older prefer voice for everything.
Voice input in 30+ languages
Voice input works in every language Vikk AI supports. Dictate in Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, or Mandarin. The transcription and analysis happen in the same language you spoke.
Text Input
Even if you type your question, you can choose to have Vikk AI read the response aloud. Useful for accessibility, for situations where you want to listen while doing something else, or simply for comprehension when reading a long response.
- Detailed scenarios:
- At your desk:
- Privacy-sensitive settings:

Tips for Effective Voice Input
-
Speak naturally, not robotically
Vikk AI handles conversational speech better than slow, formal dictation. -
You do not need to say punctuation
Vikk AI infers structure from your cadence. -
Pause briefly between thoughts
This helps with transcription accuracy. -
Re-read the transcription before submitting if you are in a quiet environment
Fix anything misheard. -
Voice works best with decent audio quality
In noisy environments, move to a quieter spot or use text. -
Specific legal terms are the most common transcription errors
If you are using specialized vocabulary (like a specific statute citation), consider typing those parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does voice input work on the web app?
Yes, via your browser's built-in speech recognition. For best voice quality, the mobile apps (iOS and Android) typically outperform browser-based voice input.
-
Can Vikk AI read legal documents aloud?
Yes. You can have Vikk AI read any generated content aloud, including legal documents, analyses, and answers. Useful for accessibility and for situations where reading text is inconvenient.
-
Is voice input private?
Yes. Voice input is transcribed on-device or in encrypted transit and is not used to train public AI models, just like text input.
-
What if my accent is not recognized well?
Vikk AI's speech recognition is trained on diverse accents and generally handles them well, but accuracy varies. If voice recognition struggles, switching to text always works. Some users find speaking in their first language (rather than accented English) improves voice accuracy significantly.
-
Can I correct a voice transcription before Vikk AI responds?
Yes. After dictation, the transcribed text appears before you hit send. You can edit it manually to correct any errors before submitting.
-
Does talk-or-type cost extra?
No. Voice and text are both included on every plan, including the free plan, at no additional cost.
