# Using Voice Input and Features on Mobile

### Summary

Learn how to use **Vincent voice dictation** **and conversational** features on the mobile app. This guide explains how to enable microphone permissions to perform **speech to text legal research** using our **legal AI voice app** capabilities.

### Why This is Important

Typing long, complex legal scenarios on a mobile keyboard can be frustrating and slow. Vincent's mobile app introduces powerful voice capabilities, allowing you to dictate your questions or interact conversationally. This natural interaction mode makes it significantly easier to use Vincent while commuting, walking between meetings, or whenever you need hands-free assistance.

#### Method 1: Enabling Voice via Settings

1. Open the Vincent app.
2. Tap the **hamburger menu** (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
3. Tap **Settings**.
4. Toggle **Dictation** and/or **Voice Conversation** to the **"On"** position.

#### Method 2: Enabling Voice Directly in a Conversation

If you haven't granted permissions yet, the app will prompt you the first time you try to use either voice feature.

1. From your home screen, start a new conversation by tapping the **create icon** (page and pencil).
2. Tap either the **microphone icon** or the **blue voice button** located near the text box.
3. A permissions panel will appear. Toggle **Dictation** to the **"On"** position.
4. Tap **Continue**.

#### Ways to Use Voice

Vincent offers two distinct voice features depending on how you prefer to interact:

**Voice Dictation (Speech-to-Text)** Use this feature when you want to quickly write a prompt without typing on your keyboard.

* Tap the classic **microphone icon** inside the text box.
* Speak your legal question, instruction, or factual scenario. Vincent uses advanced speech-to-text technology to transcribe your audio into a highly accurate written prompt for you to submit.

### Best Practices & Pro Tips

* **Speak Naturally:** You don't need to speak like a robot. State your problem or ask your question just as you would explain it to a colleague.
* **Automatic Language Configuration:** Vincent will automatically configure itself to understand the language set on your mobile device, making it a truly global assistant.
