Voice Mode
Voice Mode lets you dictate text instead of typing it. Speak your test steps, requirements, or exploratory testing notes, and Testomat.io writes them into the editor for you. Dictating saves time on long test steps and gives an option to people who find typing hard.
Turn Voice Mode On
Section titled “Turn Voice Mode On”Voice Mode is part of the AI-powered features, so it follows the same setting.
- Open your project settings.
- Enable AI features.
Dictate the Text
Section titled “Dictate the Text”- Open the field you want to fill in.
- Click the Dictate icon.
- Speak your text.
- Click Stop when you finish.
The button turns red while it records, and the bars on it move when Testomat.io hears you. AI improves the grammar, punctuation, and formatting as it goes, and once more after you stop.
Voice Mode works in test and suite descriptions, requirements, comments, TQL filters, and the Chat with Tests input. If the microphone icon is missing, your company or project has AI turned off. See the Administration section to enable it.
Recording Rules
Section titled “Recording Rules”| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Text is in short bursts | Audio is sent for transcription in segments, so text appears during the recording. |
| English by default | Dictation uses English unless your project sets other language. |
| Closing the editor stops the recording | Navigating away ends the session without saving — click Stop to keep the text. |
If this doesn’t work:
- No microphone icon, or a message asking you to enable AI features — AI is off for the project.
- Microphone access denied — allow microphone access for

- Transcription failed or Transcription timed out — the request did not reach the service. Record a shorter passage and try again.
