Voice input

Analytics Chat listening to voice input beside a Dashboard preview

You can now use your voice to ask questions in Analytics Chat. Click Dictate or the microphone icon, speak, and your words appear in the message input. Review or edit the text, then send it when you’re ready.

Voice input detects your language and uses names from your semantic model and conversation to help recognize business terms. On desktop, hold the dictation shortcut to talk, or double-tap it for hands-free recording. You can change the shortcut in Preferences.
