Voice Typing & Translation

Welcome to the comprehensive guide for using the Voice Typing feature on your Virtusx AI Mouse. This guide will walk you through setting up and using all voice-related functions, including voice typing, voice commands, and voice translation.

Setting Up Voice Typing/Speech to Text

Voice Button location on the Virtusx AI Mouse – Press this button to activate voice typing

Language Configuration

Before using voice typing, you need to select your preferred language. This ensures accurate speech recognition and transcription. Follow these steps to configure your language settings:

Open the Settings menu
Navigate to Voice Typing section
Select your preferred language from the dropdown menu

Voice Typing Language Settings screen – Select your preferred language for optimal recognition

Important:

For best results, make sure to select the language that matches what you’ll be speaking. Using a different language setting than what you’re speaking will result in poor recognition accuracy.

Voice Typing Modes

The Virtusx AI Mouse offers two different modes for voice typing, giving you flexibility based on your preferences and usage scenarios:

Hold Mode

Hold Mode is ideal for shorter dictations or when you need precise control over when the system is listening:

Press and hold the voice typing button
Begin speaking while continuing to hold the button
Release the button when you’ve finished speaking
Your speech will be converted to text immediately

Press Mode

Press Mode is perfect for longer dictations when you don’t want to hold the button continuously:

Quick click the voice typing button once to activate
Begin speaking (the system will continue listening)
Click the button again when you’ve finished speaking
Your entire speech will be converted to text

Pro Tip:

Use Hold Mode in noisy environments to prevent unwanted background noise from being captured. Use Press Mode for longer dictations or when you need your hands free while speaking.

Advanced Voice Typing Settings

Customize your voice typing experience with these advanced settings to match your specific needs:

Punctuation Options

Type with no punctuation: When enabled, this option will ignore automatic punctuation during voice typing.

Enabled: The system will not add any punctuation marks automatically
Disabled (default): The system will intelligently add commas, periods, and question marks based on your speech patterns

Enter Key Behavior

Press Enter after typing: Controls whether the system automatically adds a line break after each voice input.

Enabled: The system will automatically press Enter after each voice input, creating a new line
Disabled (default): The system will continue typing on the same line for consecutive voice inputs

Recommendation:

For most users, we recommend keeping automatic punctuation enabled for natural-sounding text. Enable “Press Enter after typing” when creating lists or when you want each voice input on a separate line.

Voice Typing Interface

When you activate voice typing (using either Hold mode or Press mode), visual indicators will appear on your screen to show that the system is listening and processing your speech.

Voice Icon

The Voice Icon appears in the corner of your screen when voice typing is active. This icon indicates that the system is listening to your speech.

Voice Bar

The Voice Bar provides visual feedback about your voice input. It shows the audio levels as you speak, helping you confirm that your voice is being detected properly.

Troubleshooting:

If you don’t see the Voice Icon or Voice Bar when attempting to use voice typing, check that your microphone is properly connected and that you’ve granted the necessary permissions to the application.

Voice Translation

The Voice Translation feature allows you to speak in one language and have your words translated and typed in another language. This powerful tool breaks down language barriers and enables multilingual communication.

Setting Up Translation Languages

To use voice translation, you need to configure both your input language (the language you’ll speak) and output language (the language for translation):

Select your Input Language – this is the language you will speak
Select your Output Language – this is the language your speech will be translated into

Language selection for translation – Choose your input and output languages

Using Voice Translation

Once you’ve configured your languages, using voice translation is simple:

Press and hold the Translation button on your mouse
Speak in your input language
Release the button when you’re finished speaking
Your words will be translated and typed in the output language

Language Support:

For best results, speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Complex sentences may take slightly longer to translate accurately.

Tips for Better Voice Typing

Follow these best practices to get the most accurate results from voice typing:

Speak clearly and at a moderate pace – Not too fast, not too slow
Use a quiet environment – Minimize background noise for better recognition
Position the microphone properly – Ideally 6-12 inches from your mouth
Speak in complete sentences – This helps the system understand context
Say punctuation commands explicitly – Like “period,” “comma,” or “question mark” if needed
Check your language settings – Ensure they match the language you’re speaking
