Voice Interaction

Voice interaction is at the heart of immersive panel simulation. This guide helps you make the most of speaking with AI panelists.

How Voice Interaction Works​

Speaking to the Panel​

  1. Listen - A panelist asks you a question (you'll hear and see it)
  2. Think - Take a moment to organize your thoughts
  3. Speak - Begin your response when ready
  4. Finish - The system detects when you've completed your answer
  5. Listen - Panelists respond with follow-up questions

Voice Detection​

StratBrain uses voice activity detection to know when you're speaking:

  • It detects when you start talking
  • It waits during natural pauses
  • It recognizes when you've finished your response
  • No need to press buttons - just speak naturally

Getting Good Results​

Clear Speech​

  • Speak at a natural, conversational pace
  • Enunciate clearly without over-articulating
  • Maintain consistent volume
  • Face your microphone

Managing Pauses​

  • Short pauses for thought are natural
  • Longer pauses may signal you've finished
  • If cut off, you can continue - the system will adapt

Handling Mistakes​

  • If you misspeak, just correct yourself and continue
  • The AI understands natural speech patterns
  • Focus on your ideas, not perfect delivery

Common Situations​

"The Panel Didn't Hear Me"​

  • Check your microphone is enabled in browser settings
  • Speak louder or move closer to the microphone
  • Ensure no other applications are using your microphone

"I Was Cut Off"​

  • The system may have thought you finished
  • Simply continue speaking - it will capture more
  • Consider shorter pauses between thoughts

"The Response Doesn't Match What I Said"​

  • Speech recognition isn't perfect
  • The AI responds to meaning, even with minor transcription errors
  • Review transcripts after to see what was captured

Text Mode Alternative​

If voice interaction isn't working well:

  • Switch to standard (non-immersive) mode
  • Type your responses instead
  • You'll still get the full panel experience

Privacy and Data​

  • Audio is processed in real-time
  • Sessions can be saved for your review
  • Your voice data is used only for the simulation
