Voice Typing: How to Set It Up and Use It

Luviomic documentation — how to install the app, turn on voice typing on your PC, and get the most out of speech recognition.

1. Quick start

  1. Download and install the app from the download page.
  2. Launch Luviomic. On the sign-in screen, create an account — you get 15 minutes free.
  3. The main window opens with your balance, hotkey, tone and languages. An icon appears in the system tray (next to the clock).
  4. Place the cursor in any text field, press the hotkey, speak, then press it again — your text is inserted.

2. Hotkey and recording

The default is Ctrl + Alt + Space. The first press starts recording (a red indicator lights up next to the cursor and pulses in time with your voice); the second press stops it and sends the audio for recognition.

You can change the shortcut in the app's main window. Presets are available: Ctrl + Alt + Space, Ctrl + Shift + Space, Ctrl + Alt + Z and more.

The text is always copied to the clipboard — if auto-insert doesn't work in a particular window, just press Ctrl + V manually.

3. Processing tones

The tone controls how your speech is turned into text. Pick it in the main window:

4. Live translation

The main window has a "Speech language" and an "Output language." When they differ, the result is translated. For example: speak in English and set the output language to Spanish — Spanish text appears in the field.

5. Balance and minutes

Usage is counted in minutes: roughly 1 minute of recognized speech = 1 minute of balance. Your balance is shown in the main window and in your account. That's also where you can buy more minutes or subscribe.

When your minutes run low, the app prompts you to top up. Your full usage history is available in your account.

6. Privacy

Audio is processed in the request's memory on our server and deleted immediately after recognition — we don't store voice recordings. Only usage metadata is kept. Read more in our Privacy Policy.

7. Troubleshooting

"Too quiet" / speech isn't recognized

Make sure the right microphone is selected and its volume in Windows settings is high enough. Try speaking closer to the mic.

Text isn't inserted automatically

In windows launched "as administrator," a standard app can't send keystrokes. In that case the text stays on the clipboard — press Ctrl + V manually. Alternatively, run the target program without administrator rights.

I don't see the tray icon

Click the "Show hidden icons" arrow next to the clock. Luviomic runs as a single instance — if you start it again, you'll simply get a reminder that the program is already running.

No connection to the server

Check your internet connection. Recognition runs on our server, so it isn't available offline.
