Shamanec Stoilov (ID: 0000000faed4135f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/05/2023 Needs work, please try to replicate the Talk to GPT functionalities, we need to be able to intereact completely hands free, ever shortcut, button pressing is taking away from the experience and requires switching between windows which is not ideal. and in some situations defeats the purpose of voice controlled asistant

Steve Doherty (ID: 000000a978ba4a2c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 Good idea but this bard version does not let me choose or control my input language, only my output language, please add the feature to select what input language i speak into the microphone, it only defaults to english and has no option to change language. Please add this feature, thank you!
