Voice Dictator

A voice-dictation widget: a circular mic toggle centred in a halftone dot-cloud radial visualiser, with an aria-live transcript that types in word-by-word (synthetic demo by default; optional live SpeechRecognition).

Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal

php artisan ui:add voice-dictator

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/voice-dictator.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './voice-dictator.js';

Guidance

Audio and voice interaction

Play, inspect, record, or dictate temporal audio.

Use when

Use when listening, dictation, or audio feedback is central to the task and users benefit from temporal media controls. Do not default to voice or audio UI when silent, scannable controls are faster or more accessible.

Avoid when

Request microphone access only after explicit user intent and treat permission denial as a normal recoverable state.

Task length: medium
Interaction cost: high
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: high
Accessibility risk: high
Needs background context: Yes
Comparison needed: No

Preferred alternatives

Silent scannable controls
Transcript or text input

Anti-patterns

Autoplay with sound
Audio as the only access to essential information

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
