Talk or Type:Voice or Text, Whichever Works Best for You


The way a person asks a legal question varies enormously by context. Sitting at a desk with a contract open, typing is natural. Driving to pick up the kids, typing is dangerous. On a job site where your hands are full, typing is impossible. In a meeting where typing would be distracting, typing is rude. Vikk AI supports voice and text input equally well, with full feature access either way, so you can use the tool however the moment calls for.

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:
Complex situations benefit from typing, where you can revise and structure your question.
At your desk:
When you are already at a computer, typing is fastest.
Privacy-sensitive settings:
In a shared office or public space, typing is more discreet than speaking.
Working with documents:
When you are quoting from or referencing a specific document, typing is more accurate.
Legal terminology:
When the question involves specific legal terms, typing ensures correct spelling.
Quiet environments:
Libraries, coffee shops, and other places where speaking would be disruptive.

Mixed Workflows

Most users mix voice and text throughout a single conversation.

A common pattern

Start by dictating the high-level situation (voice is fastest for natural explanation). Upload relevant documents (neither voice nor text, just tap to upload). Type specific clause numbers or precise language to ask about. Get a response. Dictate a follow-up. Type a revision request. Export the final document.

Another common pattern

At work, type questions during breaks when no one is watching. On the drive home, voice follow-ups to continue the same conversation. At home in the evening, type detailed revisions. All one conversation, mixed voice and text.

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.
