Complete the guided setup
The first-run guide introduces Oneslice, tone choices, microphone access, shortcuts, and a practice playground. Follow the displayed steps and finish the guide. The guide's character is an introduction; the everyday voice feature is called Assistant.
Try dictation
Dictation writes into the field you have focused. Start in a simple, editable text field before trying another app.
- Open Notepad and click inside the document.
- Start dictation with Ctrl + Space, or your configured dictation hotkey.
- Say: Hi Maya, the updated proposal is ready. New paragraph. Please review the timeline.
- Stop recording using the active recording mode and wait for the text to arrive.
Try Assistant
Assistant answers questions and can create supported items inside Oneslice. It is a different mode from dictation.
- Press Alt + V, or the Assistant hotkey shown in General settings.
- Ask: Set a timer for five minutes.
- Finish recording and read the response.
- Open Timer in the sidebar to use the timer's controls.
Choose comfortable controls
General settings lets you choose a microphone, change both voice hotkeys, change repaste, and choose tap-to-toggle or press-and-hold recording. Intelligence settings controls tone, language, formatting, and eligible context features. Verify the on-screen description of Hold to Record: its enabled state means tap-to-toggle in this build.
