Key Features

Add a microphone button to the Odoo Chatter — speak your messages, see live transcription, edit and send — all without typing a single word

One-Click Microphone

A microphone button appears in every Chatter composer (next to emoji and attachment buttons). Click once to start recording — no menus, no popups, no extra steps.

Live Speech-to-Text

As you speak into your microphone, the recognized text appears live in the composer in real time. No waiting for processing, no delays — see your words appear as you say them.

Recording Timer & Indicator

A live timer shows elapsed recording duration. A pulsing red dot indicator and a Stop button (replacing the mic icon) confirm that recording is active, so you never accidently leave it running.

Edit Before Sending

Transcribed text is inserted into the composer ready for review. Correct any misrecognized words, add formatting, attach files — then click Send to post the polished message.

Works Everywhere

Works on any model with a Chatter (mail.thread) — tasks, projects, contacts, HR records, CRM leads, purchase orders, invoices, and every custom model. No model-specific configuration needed.

Zero Configuration

No API keys, no external services, no Python dependencies. Uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API. Install the module and the microphone button appears instantly — ready to use out of the box.

User guide

Install the module, click the microphone icon in any Chatter composer, speak your message, review the live transcription, and send — all in seconds without typing.

1. Install the module

  1. Open Apps, remove the Apps filter, and search Chatter Voice to Text.
  2. Click Install. The mail module is a dependency and must already be installed (it is included with Odoo Community/Enterprise).

2. Open any record with a Chatter

  1. Navigate to any record that has a Chatter (mail.thread) — for example a Task in Project, a Contact, an HR Employee, a CRM Lead, or a Purchase Order.
  2. The Chatter composer appears at the bottom of the page with a new microphone icon button next to the emoji and attachment buttons.

3. Record your voice

  1. Click the microphone icon to start recording. Your browser will ask for microphone permission the first time — click Allow.
  2. Speak into your microphone. A timer appears showing the recording duration, and a pulsing red dot confirms recording is active.
  3. The microphone icon changes to a Stop button while recording.

4. Review the live transcription

  1. As you speak, the recognized text appears live in the composer text area. You can see your words being transcribed in real time.
  2. Speech recognition is handled by your browser's built-in Web Speech API — no audio is stored by this module.

5. Stop recording

  1. Click the Stop button to end the recording.
  2. The microphone icon returns, and the transcribed text remains in the composer for your review.

6. Edit and send

  1. Review the transcribed text. Make any corrections needed — fix misrecognized words, add punctuation, or adjust formatting.
  2. Click Send to post your message to the Chatter log.
  3. The message appears in the chatter history just like any typed message, with your name and timestamp.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which browsers support this feature?
The module uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API. It works on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based browsers). Mozilla Firefox and Safari do not have built-in speech recognition and are not supported.
2. Do I need an API key or external service?
No. The module uses your browser's built-in speech recognition — no API keys, no external services, and no additional Python dependencies are required. It works out of the box after installation.
3. Is my voice audio stored anywhere?
This module does not store any audio. Speech recognition is handled entirely by the browser. However, depending on your browser (e.g., Google Chrome), the audio may be sent to the browser vendor's servers for processing. No message is posted to the Chatter until you click Send.
4. Where does the microphone button appear?
The microphone button appears in the Chatter composer on any Odoo model that uses mail.thread (Chatter). This includes tasks, projects, contacts, HR employees, CRM leads, purchase orders, invoices, and any custom model with a Chatter. It appears next to the existing emoji and attachment buttons.
5. Can I edit the transcribed text before sending?
Yes. The transcribed text is inserted directly into the Chatter composer text area. You can review, edit, correct misrecognized words, add or remove text, and even type additional content before clicking Send. The message posts only when you choose to send it.
6. Does it support languages other than English?
Speech recognition language depends on your browser and operating system settings. The Web Speech API supports many languages. Ensure your browser's language is set to your preferred language for the best recognition accuracy. The transcribed text will appear in the same language you speak.
7. Is it compatible with Odoo 19?
Yes. This module is built for Odoo 19.0 and works on both Community and Enterprise editions. It depends only on the standard mail module — no third-party or external integration is required.
