You can ask the assistant a question by voice instead of typing. Voice input is available on iOS only. On the web, type your question in the chat input.
- Open the Assistant tab.
- Tap the microphone icon at the right side of the chat input. (The mic icon replaces the send arrow when the input is empty.)
- The first time you use voice, iOS asks for microphone and speech-recognition permissions. Accept both for voice input to work.
- Speak your question. Your speech is transcribed live into the input field as you talk.
- Stop in one of two ways:
- Tap the stop icon to end the recording manually.
- Let it auto-stop after a brief pause in your speech.
- Review the transcription, edit anything that’s off, then tap send.
Tips for better transcription
- Speak naturally - no special commands needed, just ask the way you would in conversation.
- Speak at a normal pace and enunciate proper nouns (merchant names, account names) clearly.
- Review before sending - speech recognition isn’t perfect; numbers, dates, and unusual names often need a quick tap-edit before you send.
- Permission denied - iOS shows an alert with a shortcut to the Settings app where you can re-enable Microphone or Speech Recognition for MyTruv.
- Microphone not picking you up - quiet your surroundings, hold the phone a bit closer, and try again.
- Wrong language transcribed - voice input follows your device’s primary language setting.
Example voice queries
- “How much did I spend on food this week?”
- “What’s my net worth?”
- “Show me my upcoming bills”
- “Compare my spending this month to last month”
Voice is especially handy for quick lookups when you don’t want to stop and type - “What’s my Cash Flow this month?”, “How much in subscriptions?”, and so on.
