Voice Command Tips & Best Practices

Speak Clearly

Speak at a normal pace and volume. Avoid background noise and speak directly into your device's microphone.

Use Natural Language

You don't need to memorize exact phrases. Use natural, conversational language that feels comfortable to you.

Pause Between Commands

Wait for the system to process one command before giving the next. This improves accuracy and prevents confusion.

Correct Mistakes

If something goes wrong, you can say "undo" or "cancel" to reverse the last action, or simply repeat the command.

Troubleshooting Voice Commands

Having trouble with voice recognition? Here are solutions to common issues.

  • Check microphone permissions: Ensure your browser has permission to access your microphone
  • Use a supported browser: Voice commands work best in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
  • Check internet connection: Voice processing requires a stable internet connection
  • Try refreshing the page: Sometimes a page refresh resolves temporary issues

  • Speak more slowly and clearly: Enunciate each word distinctly
  • Reduce background noise: Use voice commands in a quiet environment
  • Check microphone quality: Ensure your microphone is working properly
  • Use shorter phrases: Break complex commands into smaller parts

  • Use the app more frequently: Suggestions improve with more usage data
  • Check your internet connection: Suggestions require an active connection
  • Try different item names: Use common names for items to get better suggestions
  • Clear browser cache: Sometimes clearing cache resolves suggestion issues
