# Dictate instead of typing

> Talk to your agents in Korean or English by holding two keys, instead of typing.

## Hold two keys and speak

1. Hold Control and Option (⌃⌥) on a Mac, or Ctrl and Alt on Windows and Linux.
2. Speak in Korean or English. Your words appear in the message box as you talk.
3. Let go. The message is sent.

The keys work wherever your hands are: in the chat, or while you click around in the agent's browser.

Dictation uses credits, like images and video. See [Credits](/docs/credits).

## Read it over before sending

1. Click the microphone button beside the message box.
2. Speak. Your words go into the box.
3. Click the microphone button again to stop.
4. Read it over and send it yourself.

## If something goes wrong

A short note appears beside the microphone:

| Note                                     | What to do                                                                                  |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **No sound from …** (with a device name) | That microphone heard nothing. Pick another input device in your computer's sound settings. |
| **Didn't catch that.**                   | Only noise was heard. Your words stay in the box, unsent.                                   |
| **microphone blocked**                   | Allow the app to use the microphone in your computer's privacy settings.                    |
| **no microphone**                        | No input device was found.                                                                  |
