# Voice chat

When voice is available, the mic in the composer lets you talk to Foxora instead of typing — and have replies spoken back. There are two ways to capture: push-to-talk and a hands-free call.

## Two capture modes

- Push-to-talk — press and hold the mic to record; release to transcribe and send. Letting the pointer slip off while held cancels without sending. A one-shot dictation.
- Hands-free call — click the mic to start a continuous listen → send → speak loop. Foxora listens, sends each utterance, speaks the reply, and listens again — a live conversation.

Toggle Hold to record from the mic’s caret menu to switch between them, and pick your input device there too. While capturing, the input becomes a live waveform that reads Listening…, then Transcribing….

## Spoken replies & wake phrase

With spoken replies on, Foxora reads back the answer for voice turns only — typed turns stay silent so the room doesn’t suddenly start talking. If you begin speaking again, any in-progress spoken reply is cut off so you’re never talking over it. You can also set an optional wake phrase (like “Hey Foxora”) in Settings → Voice.
