Voice Mode on your phone

3 min read

Voice Mode turns one session into something you listen to. When it is on, the Wingman narrates each completed turn as spoken audio, and you answer by talking - the step up from reading the Chat view yourself when your hands and eyes are busy.

Turning it on

Open a session and pick the Voice mode tab, then tap Switch to voice mode. From then on the session shows up on the roster with a voice indicator, and every finished turn produces a narration clip.

Listening

While the agent works, the screen shows Agent is working; when a turn completes, the Gateway generates the narration and your phone downloads it before offering playback - so when it says ready, it plays instantly. A fresh clip plays automatically while you are on the screen, with a full player: play/pause, restart, and a seek bar. Leave halfway through and it resumes where you stopped. If the agent starts working again, the old narration is retired - you never act on stale news.

Respond and Snooze - the two big buttons at the top of the screen, in the same place in every state. Respond: speak, review the transcript at Pause if you want, then Send - the reply transcribes and submits in the background. Snooze silences the session for your default length and returns you to the list; once your snooze lengths have been read from your Gateway, a caret beside it opens a Snooze for sheet listing them.
Regenerate response and Turn voice off - in the session menu: rebuild the narration for the current turn, or go back to a normal session.
Generate narration now - offered on the status card when the Gateway says a narration can be made on the spot.

Tip

While the app is in the foreground the phone keeps the screen awake where the browser supports it. A narration that would start while the app is hidden or the phone is locked is skipped; whether audio already playing continues under lock is the phone's decision, not DevThrottle's. Back in the app, if the next narration does not start on its own, tap the session to start it.

The language and the voice

What the narration sounds like is set once for your whole account, not per phone: open the menu, pick Settings, then the Language tab. Each language lists the voices it offers, and Play sample speaks a sample sentence using the account's real setup - what you audition is what every narration will sound like, on every phone and browser you use. The models behind narration run through your DevThrottle account - see pricing for what a subscription includes.

Note

Voice mode and the spoken language are fleet-wide (they live on your Gateway). The few things that are per-phone: notification permission, chat filters, playback positions, and Auto-speak - the roster switch that reads the waiting voice sessions to you one after another.
