Voice, dictation, and memory
Listen to agents, talk to them, and inspect what they remember.
Spoken replies
Add an ElevenLabs key in App Settings, choose a voice, and use the speaker control on a response. Auto-speak can read new replies as they arrive.
The harness rewrites code-heavy Markdown into speech-friendly text before synthesis. Keys remain on the harness and never reach the renderer.
Call mode
On macOS, call mode combines native on-device speech recognition with the configured ElevenLabs voice. It is deliberately half-duplex: the microphone pauses while the bot speaks to prevent the app from transcribing its own audio.
Tool progress and approval requests can be narrated during a call so long-running work does not sound disconnected.
Dictation
The composer microphone uses Apple's local speech recognition in the macOS desktop build. Linux and Windows dictation are not currently shipped.
Memory
Each bot can keep plain-text memory that you can inspect, correct, or delete. Memory is not a hidden remote profile; it lives with the local Dash Bot data.
