Talk to eeva instead of typing to braindump, log items, and check on your home hands-free.
You can speak to eeva instead of typing. Voice is handy for braindumping several thoughts in one go or logging something with your hands full. eeva transcribes what you say into text and nothing leaves your device until you send it.
The first time, a sheet appears: “Use voice to chat” and “Use your voice to braindump, log repairs, and check on your home hands-free.” It notes that you can braindump multiple thoughts in one go, speak in English, Japanese, or any supported language, and that recordings stay on your device until you send them to eeva.

Start speaking
Recording begins and the chat bar placeholder shows “Listening…”. Your words transcribe live as you talk, so you can view the text as it appears.
4
Send it
When you’re done, send the message. eeva reads what you said and, if it proposes any records, shows action cards for you to confirm.
Voice is the fastest way to braindump. Say everything on your mind in one recording and let eeva sort it into tasks and records.
The ”+” next to the chat bar lets you attach instead of speak: “Upload a document” or “Scan an appliance label”. For scanning, see Scanning & cards in chat.
If you’ve denied microphone access, you’ll see “Mic access blocked” and “Allow microphone access in Settings to talk to eeva. You can still type your message.” To enable it, open your iOS Settings, find eeva, and turn on Microphone. Then come back to the chat and tap the mic again. In the meantime, you can always type your message instead.
