Audio: Show listening state, live transcript, and safe interrupt for voice turns.

Start with capture feedback, transcript visibility, and clear handoff between listening, processing, and action, not only a mic icon.

Voice input often implies conversational turn-taking. Dictation is one-way speech-to-text into a field. Use different indicators and interruption rules.

For meetings, interviews, accessibility, and any flow where users must correct words in real time. Delayed transcripts-only hide errors until too late.

Listening vs processing vs speaking states, and errors like low volume or denied mic permission. Animation without state labels confuses users.

Confirm destructive commands, show what will run, and offer text fallback. Ambient voice without confirmation causes costly mistakes.

Real-time translation and language-toggle patterns appear in the catalog. Pair with clear source/target language display so users know what was heard.
