Voice-first workflows that respect quiet rooms

Speech input should feel immediate, but not aggressive. Prominent mic placement pairs with visible states so users know when listening starts and stops—especially with gloves, pockets, or noisy streets.

Playback controls stay lightweight: replay a line without cluttering the transcript. That matters when someone asks you to repeat a pronunciation slowly.

Keyboard mode remains one tap away for libraries, names, or situations where speaking is awkward. The thread does not reset when you switch modes.

We continue to refine gesture targets and focus rings so TalkBack and visible focus remain first-class—not bolted on.
