Edit your CV by voice: dictate what you want to change

A microphone in every text field: you dictate your request or your context with your phone's or browser's speech recognition, and the site only ever receives the text.

Dictate my request Or ask Nego

In “Say what you want to change”, press the microphone and speak.

What the feature does

Every free-text field on the site has a microphone button: “Say what you want to change” in “Same layout” and in “My structure”, “Your context”, the details of a translation, the answers to the questions before a rewrite, the CV text pasted at upload, the fields of an editable CV, and the message to Nego. You press, you speak, and the text is written as you speak, at the cursor or in place of the selected text, with a capital letter at the start of a sentence. What is already written is never cut: if the field has a maximum length (1,500 characters for an edit request), it is the dictated text that gets shortened.

The recognition is your device's own: your phone's dictation, or the browser's on a computer. On a phone or tablet, it is one sentence per press, written as soon as you stop speaking; on a computer, you speak until you press the stop square. The language is the field's when it is set (an English CV is dictated in English), otherwise the page's. Fields that do not suit it are excluded: email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, numbers, dates. If the microphone does not open within 8 seconds, the dictation stops and says so. The site uses no voice service of its own, and the microphone is only allowed to the site itself, never to third-party content.

The dictated text is written where your cursor is, or in place of the selected text, with a capital letter at the start of a sentence. The speech recognition is your device's or your browser's: the site never receives the audio, only the text in the field. A diagram, not a screenshot.

When to dictate rather than type

On a phone, a request with several changes (“make my title project manager, add Python to my skills, remove my summer jobs”) is quicker to say than to type.
To add a job, describe it as you would to someone: the employer, since when, what you do. In “My structure”, the AI turns it into a job title, dates and bullets. The updating your CV guide lists what to review.
For “Your context”: what your CV does not say, your situation, what you are aiming for, your constraints. Its facts and figures can then be used by the AI.

For dictation that works first time

Speak in short sentences, and name the section or job you mean: “in my job at…”, “in the skills”.
Check company names, acronyms and figures before sending: that is where dictation most often goes wrong.
Dictate the substance, not the wording: “make my latest job more impactful” is enough, the AI picks the words. For inspiration, see the list of action verbs.

Step by step

01Open a fieldFor instance “Say what you want to change”, after your PDF CV has been analysed. Put the cursor where the text should go.
02Press the microphoneThe first time, your browser asks permission to use the microphone. “Opening the mic…” then “Listening: speak now” appear, and the button turns red, with a stop square.
03Speak“Add a bullet about managing the team in my latest job.” The text lands at the cursor, after what is already written.
04Stop, read back, sendOn a computer, press the square to stop. Read it back, fix it on the keyboard if needed, then start the edit: it is handled like a written request.

What the AI does, and does not do

The model reads and writes; the code calculates and checks. No figure shown ever comes from a language model.

The AI does

Handle your dictated request exactly like a written one, with the same checks.
Shape a job you describe out loud in “My structure” into CV form, without adding anything you did not say.

The AI never does

Hear your voice: the transcription is done by your device, the AI only receives the text.
Catch a misheard word: the dictation arrives as your device understood it.
Guess a misheard figure: a dictated figure is part of your request and can go into your CV as it is; read it back before sending.

Limits

You need a browser that offers speech recognition: without it (Firefox, for instance), the microphone button does not appear and your keyboard's microphone is still there.
In an app's built-in browser (Instagram, LinkedIn, Gmail…), dictation works poorly: open the page in Safari or Chrome.
Offline, the browser's dictation is often unavailable; a proper noun or an acronym may be misheard.
One dictation at a time on the page, and no dictation in address, password or number fields.

Privacy

No audio is sent to the site: the transcription is done by your device or browser, only the final text reaches the field, and the site only notes that dictation was used, never what was said. Full details in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Does my phone send my voice anywhere?

Not to the site. Speech recognition is your device's or your browser's, with its own rules; the site itself only receives the final text, in the field, as if you had typed it.

Can I dictate my whole CV?

Yes, in “My structure”: tell a job into the microphone and the AI shapes it; or dictate into the fields of the editable CV. For a whole CV from scratch, dictate your background into the upload text box, then let the analysis and the rewrite do the rest.

The microphone blinks but nothing is written: what should I do?

Allow the microphone for this site in your browser (and dictation in your phone's settings), then press again and wait for “Listening” before you speak. If it still does not work, your phone keyboard's microphone types into the same field.
