Navigator Voice lets you add a transaction without opening the full transaction form first. You can speak a short command or type it into the Navigator Voice dock.

Requirements

Navigator Voice requires:
  • CalBudget Navigator access
  • Navigator Voice enabled in settings
  • An editable account
  • Browser support for speech recognition if you want to speak commands
  • Microphone permission if you use the mic
If your browser does not support speech recognition, you can still type a command into the dock.

Start a voice command

You can start a command in three ways:
  • Tap the mic button in the Navigator Voice dock
  • Hold V while the calendar is focused
  • Type a command into the dock and select Create
When using the keyboard shortcut, hold V to speak and release it to finish.

Say or type a transaction

Use a short transaction command. For example:
spent 24.18 on groceries today
Navigator Voice parses the command and creates a transaction in the active editable account. The created transaction includes notes that it came from Navigator Voice.

What Voice is for

Navigator Voice is for transaction creation. It is not general dictation, and it is not a full chat replacement. Use regular CalBudget Navigator chat when you want to ask questions about timing, low-balance days, or what to do next.

Troubleshooting

If Voice does not work:
  • Check that Navigator Voice is enabled in settings
  • Check that your browser allows microphone access
  • Try typing the command instead
  • Make sure you are working in an editable account
  • Confirm the calendar has an active account selected
If a transaction is created incorrectly, open the transaction and edit the date, amount, category, or notes.
