Hands-free mode: voice commands on the job

Overview#

Hands-free mode is a big push-to-talk button for gloved hands. What you say is turned into text by the speech-to-text service and run as one command through the app's normal actions. Answers and steps are read aloud. Typing a command works too.

Before you start#

• Voice needs speech-to-text configured on the server (and AI on). Without it, type commands.

• Settings › AI › AI assists › Hands-free mode must be on. Asking questions needs the job assistant.

Steps#

1. Tap Hands-free in AI assists. Pick the unit for readings and choose Read answers aloud.

2. Tap Tap and speak, say a command, tap Done speaking. Or type it and tap Go.

3. Commands (English or Spanish): "Start driving", "I'm here", "Note: …", "Superheat 12", "Amps 18.5", "Timer 5 minutes", "Ask: …", "Read the steps", "Next", "Repeat", "Stop", "Help".

4. "I'm done" takes you back to the appointment to wrap up with Finish appointment; it never finishes the visit itself.

Settings that change this#

• Settings › AI › AI assists › Hands-free mode.

Tips#

• Status changes and notes go through the offline queue like taps do.

Troubleshooting#

• "Didn't catch that" → say "help" for examples, or type it.

• No Tap and speak button → speech-to-text isn't connected; type commands.

FAQ#

Q: Is there a wake word? Not yet: it's push to talk. "Hey TradesWork" at the start is accepted but not required.
