# 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**](/app-help/documentation/dino-ai/context.md) - Add relevant files or directories before speaking your request

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/dino-ai/agent-mode/speech-to-text-tool.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
