Implements feature request: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/pouvoir-parler-avec-lia-dans-la-page-de-discussion/10282

⚠️ This pull request was opened by an automated Claude Code run. It has not been tested in a real browser with a real microphone. It needs human review and manual testing (Chrome desktop, Chrome Android, Safari iOS/macOS, and a check that Firefox degrades correctly) before being merged.

Description

Adds a small microphone button inside the "write your message" input of the Chat / Discussion page, so the user can dictate a message to Gladys' AI instead of typing it.

This is a front-only change, no server change, no external service, no audio upload:

  • Transcription uses the browser's own Web Speech API (window.SpeechRecognition / window.webkitSpeechRecognition). Gladys itself never records, stores or uploads any audio.
  • Clicking the mic starts listening (the button turns red and pulses, the icon becomes a stop square). The transcription fills the message input live (interimResults) as the user speaks.
  • Clicking again stops listening. continuous is enabled, but browsers that stop on the first silence are fine too, the recognition simply ends and the transcribed text stays in the input.
  • The message is never sent automatically: the user reviews the text and presses send, exactly as when typing.
  • Sending a message cancels a running recognition, so a late transcription cannot refill the input that was just emptied.
  • The recognition locale follows the language selected in Gladys (user.language), keeping the full browser locale when it matches (a French speaking user in Canada keeps fr-CA), and falling back to en-US / fr-FR / de-DE, then to the browser locale.

Browser support / graceful degradation

  • Supported: Chrome and Chromium based browsers (Edge, Opera, Chrome Android, Samsung Internet), and Safari on macOS and iOS (webkitSpeechRecognition).
  • Not supported: Firefox (desktop and Android) does not implement the Web Speech API recognition part. In that case the mic button is simply not rendered at all, the composer looks exactly as it does today, and the extra right padding on the textarea is not applied either.
  • The button is also not rendered outside a secure context (plain HTTP on a non-localhost host), because the microphone is unavailable there. This reuses the existing isSecureRecordingContext() helper already used by the dashboard voice assistant widget.
  • Errors are handled and shown as a small message under the composer, translated in en/fr/de: permission denied, no microphone, no speech detected, network error reaching the browser's speech service, and a generic fallback. aborted is ignored since it just means the user stopped the recognition.

Privacy note for reviewers: the audio never goes through Gladys or Gladys Plus. It is handled by the browser. Note however that Chrome's implementation of the Web Speech API performs the recognition on Google servers (this is browser behaviour, same as the keyboard dictation button), while Safari can use on-device recognition. If that trade-off is not acceptable, the alternative would be to reuse the existing Gladys Plus STT endpoint used by the dashboard voice assistant widget instead — happy to switch the implementation.

Files changed

  • front/src/utils/speechRecognition.js (new): thin wrapper around the Web Speech API (support detection, locale resolution, error code mapping, session factory).
  • front/src/routes/chat/ChatVoiceInputButton.jsx (new): the mic button component.
  • front/src/routes/chat/ChatPage.js: renders the button in the composer, holds the error state, cancels recognition on send.
  • front/src/routes/chat/style.css: styles for the button, its listening state and the error line.
  • front/src/actions/message.js: new setMessageTextInput action to set the composer text from a value instead of a DOM event.
  • front/src/config/i18n/{en,fr,de}.json: new chat.voiceInput block.

Forum

Forum: https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/pouvoir-parler-avec-lia-dans-la-page-de-discussion/10282

Checklist

  • Tests pass: cd server && npm run coverage (Codecov requires 100% coverage on changed lines) and Cypress (npm run cypress:run) if the UI changed
  • Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (npm run eslint, npm run prettier)
  • No undocumented breaking change

Notes on the checklist, filled honestly:

  • Server tests: not run, this PR contains no server change at all (only files under front/).
  • Cypress: not run. It needs a running Gladys instance (start:cypress + a live server) which was not available in the automated environment. There is also no front unit-test harness in this repo (front/package.json has no test script, only Cypress e2e specs), so no unit test was added for the new component — this matches the other front components which are not unit tested. A Cypress spec would additionally need the Web Speech API to be stubbed, since Chrome headless cannot really listen to a microphone.
  • What was actually run and passed in front/: npm run eslint (0 errors, warning count unchanged from master, none of them in the new/changed files), npm run prettier + npm run prettier-check (all files match Prettier style), npm run compare-translations (en/fr/de complete), and npm run build (Vite build succeeds, the chat route chunk builds fine).
  • Not tested: the actual voice behaviour in a real browser with a real microphone, and the visual result of the button. Please check the layout of the composer (the mic sits at right: 48px, just left of the send button) on desktop and mobile.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added browser-based voice dictation to chat using a microphone control.
    • Speech transcripts are added to the current message, with start, stop, and restart support.
    • Added localized voice-input labels, errors, browser support messaging, and privacy notices in English, French, and German.
    • Added visual feedback for listening, errors, focus, and reduced-motion preferences.

Add a microphone button in the chat composer so the user can dictate a
message to Gladys instead of typing it, as requested on the community
forum.

Everything happens in the browser with the Web Speech API: no audio is
recorded or uploaded by Gladys, and no server change is needed. The
transcription fills the message input as the user speaks, and the message
is never sent automatically so the user can review it first.

The recognition locale follows the language selected in Gladys, falling
back to the browser locale. Browsers without the Web Speech API (Firefox)
or pages served over plain HTTP simply don't get the button.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 052a5

The new dictation control can remain visibly active after a recognition-start failure, and rapid stop/restart sequences may lose a deferred listening attempt. These are bounded UI behavior issues that should receive explicit owner follow-up before or alongside merge.

Front-only chat dictation: a mic in the composer, live Web Speech transcription, no auto-send. That matches the forum request, and hiding the button on Firefox / non-secure contexts is the right degradation.

I am not adding risk:high (no server, auth, or data-model change). I am adding needs:human-review and requesting atrovato: Gladys already has a privacy-preserving STT path (POST /api/v1/gateway/stt, used in spirit by the dashboard voice widget via Gladys Plus), while Chrome’s Web Speech API sends the microphone stream to Google with no in-UI disclosure. That sits next to chat copy that promises open-weight models and “no data resold”. Whether this trade-off is acceptable is a product decision, not something this review should rubber-stamp.

Please do not merge until the session-lifetime bugs below are fixed, and a human has chosen the STT backend (Web Speech vs Gladys Plus /gateway/stt, or Web Speech with an explicit disclosure). This branch was not exercised with a real microphone.

Address the review feedback on the chat microphone button:

- Guard the recognition session with a generation counter, so a session
  which is ending can no longer reset the state of the one which just
  started, and don't start a new session before the previous one ended
  (a start asked in between is replayed on onend). start() now reports
  its failure so the button doesn't stay red when the browser refused
  to listen.
- Don't report no-speech as an error when the user already dictated
  something: Chrome fires it after a few seconds of silence, which is
  just the normal end of the session.
- Make the textarea read-only while the microphone is on, so an edit
  can't be silently overwritten by the next interim result.
- Show a notice while listening explaining that the browser does the
  transcription and that, depending on the browser, the audio can go to
  its own speech recognition service. The choice between the Web Speech
  API and the Gladys Plus STT endpoint still needs a maintainer call.

Stale comment

Re-review of 0e4da3ed (follow-up to the previous CHANGES_REQUESTED).

The three code blockers from last time are fixed: session identity (recognitionGeneration + restartWhenEnded + start() returning a boolean), no-speech ignored once something was transcribed, and the textarea readOnly while the mic is on. Hiding the button when the Web Speech API or a secure context is missing is still the right degradation, and the message is still never sent automatically.

I am not adding risk:high (front-only composer UX, no server / auth / data-model change). No DEVICE_FEATURE_* changes.

I am keeping needs:human-review and atrovato. Gladys already has a privacy-preserving STT path (POST /api/v1/gateway/stt; the dashboard voice widget records locally and talks to Gladys Plus). Chrome’s Web Speech API still sends audio to Google. The new notice is useful, but it appears only after listening has started, so the first audio can already have left the device. A maintainer still needs to pick: (1) reuse Plus STT, (2) keep Web Speech with a pre-start disclosure, or (3) consciously accept Google STT as OS-dictation-equivalent. That is not something this review should rubber-stamp next to chat copy that promises open-weight models and “no data resold”.

Residuals, not code merge-blockers: restartWhenEnded starts recognition from onend (outside the click gesture — please check Safari iOS), the pulse animation ignores prefers-reduced-motion, and this branch was still not exercised with a real microphone.

…on Safari

- The notice explaining that the browser does the transcription is now shown
  as soon as the microphone button is available, instead of only once the
  recognition has started.
- Restarting a dictation no longer waits for the previous session `onend` to
  call `start()`: it is called in the click itself, which Safari requires, and
  the deferred restart is kept as a fallback for browsers refusing a second
  session while the previous one is still running.
- The listening pulse is disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`.

Re-review of e5bdcb0e (follow-up to the previous pass on 0e4da3ed).

The three residuals from last time are fixed: the transcription notice is now visible before the first start(), a new session is started in the same click (Safari iOS gesture), and the listening pulse honors prefers-reduced-motion. Hiding the button when the Web Speech API or a secure context is missing is still the right degradation, and the message is still never sent automatically.

I am not adding risk:high (front-only composer UX, no server / auth / data-model change). No DEVICE_FEATURE_* changes.

I am keeping needs:human-review and atrovato. Gladys already has a privacy-preserving STT path (dashboard voice widget records locally and posts to Gladys Plus). Chrome’s Web Speech API still sends audio to Google. The pre-start notice is the right stopgap for option 2, but a maintainer still needs to pick: (1) reuse Plus STT, (2) keep Web Speech with accurate disclosure, or (3) consciously accept Google STT as OS-dictation-equivalent. That is not something this review should rubber-stamp next to chat copy that promises open-weight models and “no data resold”.

Residuals, not code merge-blockers: stopListening unlocks the textarea before onend (a late final result can overwrite edits), and the notice overclaims “on-device for Safari”. This branch was still not exercised with a real microphone.

SpeechRecognition.stop() still delivers a final result before end. setListening(false) here unlocks the composer immediately (readOnly={voiceInputListening}), so handleTranscript can still rewrite baseText + transcript after the user has started editing.

Keep listening true until handleEnd, or add a distinct stopping state that stays read-only until the session has actually ended. cancelListening is already fine: it bumps recognitionGeneration so a late result cannot refill a sent message.

Fixed in 052a52b, same change as the CodeRabbit comment on this line, with the "distinct stopping state" option:

  • stopListening now sets state.stopping alongside listening: false, and only handleEnd for that session clears it. setListening reports listening || stopping through onListeningChange, so readOnly={voiceInputListening} stays true until the session actually ended and the final result delivered after stop() lands in a still locked input.
  • The button reverts to the mic icon on the click, so stopping still feels immediate.
  • A 5s timeout releases stopping if a browser never fires onend, so the composer cannot get stuck read-only.
  • cancelListening was left as is, as you noted.

Showing this notice as soon as the mic button is available is the right timing (the previous “only while listening” copy was too late).

The Safari half of the sentence is too strong: WebKit does not guarantee on-device recognition unless processLocally is set, and even then it can fall back to Apple’s servers. Please use a browser-neutral wording in en/fr/de (the audio may be processed by the browser’s speech service) and leave Chrome-vs-Safari as a maintainer note, not a product claim.

Fixed in 052a52b, same change as the CodeRabbit comment on this line. browserTranscriptionNotice in en/fr/de no longer names Chrome or Safari and no longer claims on-device processing: it now says the audio "may be processed on your device or sent to your browser's own speech recognition service".

The Web Speech vs POST /api/v1/gateway/stt backend choice stays open for a maintainer, as in the previous passes; the PR keeps its needs:human-review label.


Generated by Claude Code

Addresses the review feedback on the voice input:

- `stop()` still delivers a final result before `onend`, so unlocking the
  composer right away let a late transcript overwrite what the user typed
  in between. A `stopping` state now keeps the input read-only until the
  session actually ended, with a timeout as a safety net for browsers
  which never fire `onend`. The button goes back to its idle look
  immediately.
- The transcription notice no longer claims that Safari transcribes
  on-device: `processLocally` is not set, so the browser may use a remote
  service. The en/fr/de copy is now browser-neutral.
- Renamed the `voiceInputPulse` keyframe to kebab-case.

Preact 10.7.2 Component.setState implementation synchronous state update batching source

💡 Result:

In Preact 10.7.2, the setState method is designed to be asynchronous regarding rendering, meaning that state updates do not trigger an immediate re-render [1][2]. Instead, Preact batches these updates and schedules a re-render [1][2]. Key aspects of the implementation include: 1. Asynchronous Batching: When setState is called, Preact does not perform an immediate synchronous re-render [1][3]. It queues the component for an update using a mechanism that typically utilizes microtasks (e.g., Promise.then) via the enqueueRender function [2][4]. This batching ensures that multiple state updates can be processed efficiently in a single render cycle [2][5]. 2. Synchronous State Update: While the re-render is asynchronous, the internal state of the component is updated immediately when setState is called [3]. This allows subsequent code within the same execution context to access the new state, although relying on this timing is generally discouraged in favor of using callback arguments or component lifecycle methods [6]. 3. Implementation Source: The logic for setState is defined in the Component class [1]. It merges the new state (or the result of a function updater) into the component's pending state (_nextState) and then triggers enqueueRender(this), which manages the queue of components that need to be re-rendered [1][2]. Developers who require specific timing behavior can sometimes influence the batching process by configuring options.debounceRendering (e.g., setting it to setTimeout to change the batching window), though this is considered an advanced use case and can have architectural side effects [6][7][4].

Always enqueue the requested listening state.

When recognition.start() fails synchronously, setListening(true) queues an update, but this.state remains unchanged until rendering. The following setListening(false) can therefore skip its update, leaving the button active after startup fails. Call this.setState({ listening, stopping }) without comparing this.state, or track pending state separately.

the state synchronization in the ChatVoiceInputButton listening flow to always
call setState with the requested listening and stopping values, without
comparing them to this.state first. Preserve the existing state fields and
ensure sequential setListening updates are queued even when recognition.start()
fails synchronously.
