# Speech-To-Text

The Speech-to-Text Tool allows you to interact with DinoAI using your voice instead of typing, providing a more natural and efficient way to communicate with your AI assistant during development.

#### Using the Speech-to-Text Tool

1. **Open DinoAI** by clicking the DinoAI icon (🪄) in the right panel of the Code IDE
2. **Click the microphone icon** in the DinoAI chat input area
3. **Speak your request clearly** - DinoAI will capture and process your voice input
4. **Review the transcribed text** and make any necessary edits
5. **Submit your request** for DinoAI to process

#### Best Practices

1. **Speak clearly** - Use normal speaking pace and clear pronunciation
2. **Be specific** - Include relevant details about your request, just as you would when typing
3. **Review transcription** - Check the converted text before submitting to ensure accuracy
4. **Combine with** [**context**](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/dino-ai/context) - Add relevant files or directories before speaking your request
