Step-by-step guide
Tap the microphone once.
Wait until the microphone begins pulsing and the word “Listening…” appears.
When the microphone is pulsing, clearly say one word.
Wait a moment while Speaktionary searches.
If the room is noisy, move to a quieter place or speak a little louder.
💡 Important Tip
Don’t speak immediately after tapping the microphone. Wait for the microphone to pulse. The pulsing microphone means Speaktionary is ready to hear your voice. Speaking too early may cause your first word to be missed.
