Voice

Reading answers aloud

  • Read aloud reads an answer; Stop reading stops.
  • Auto-read reads each answer when the work ends: the Whole answer, or a Short summary ("A sentence or two the Orchestrator adds to be said").
  • How the Orchestrator speaks (up to 300 characters) is sent with your message when Auto-read reads a short summary.

Answers are read with this computer's voices, or with Gemini's:

  • Gemini: add a Gemini API key and Save key. The key stays in KOLONİ; the page never sees it again. "When off, this computer's voices read."

Dictating

Dictate: "what you say is written into the box, and nothing is sent". Dictation language sets the language you speak; it also sets the language answers are read in.

Privacy

  • "Speech recognition is your browser's: in Chrome and Edge what you say is sent to Google's or Microsoft's service to be written down."
  • A computer voice marked online sends what it reads to its maker.
  • "Text read with Gemini is sent to Google. On the free tier Google may use it to improve its products; on a paid key it does not."
  • "KOLONİ keeps no sound and sends none anywhere."
