Enable and use live AI conversation
Speak naturally while the app controls permissions, time and spending.
For: Student, Teacher, Centre Manager, Super Admin
Look for: Start talking · End call
- On an activity, tap Talk to AI tutor. The right panel immediately shows Start talking; press it when ready. Voice settings & details contains the call limit, idle timeout, voice and privacy details. During a call, Microphone on and End call remain visible even when you collapse the tutor or change views. Near the call limit, a time warning appears.
- Manager: in AI & spending enable external voice and live voice at the centre. Choose the live model, reasoning, call minutes, idle timeout, child daily live minutes and budgets.
- Teacher/admin: in the learner’s support enable AI tutoring and reviewed external-speech eligibility. Under AI voice, tick Interactive AI voice and Save AI voice settings. A teacher needs the manager’s permission to grant live access.
- For conversation without AI question reading, leave Read aloud question unchecked. AI recording with transcription is a separate option for Record → Stop → Transcribe; live conversation does not need that checkbox. Example: a learner talks to the tutor but presses device Listen for questions.
- Student: open an active activity, click Start talking and allow the microphone. Speak after the app confirms it is listening. Use HTTPS and a network that supports the microphone connection.
- End call when finished. The call also ends for idle timeout, maximum duration, disconnection, changed permissions or exhausted allowances. Idle-call expiry does not sign the student out.
- Guide/Solve rules apply. Live speech streams immediately, so it does not receive a separate checker before the child hears it. Ask the teacher to review doubtful advice.
- The app saves AI reply transcripts for authorised staff. It does not retain the live microphone audio or a separate word-for-word student transcript. Playground choices do not change this app’s selected model.
