This page explains how to use AI Voice Data Entry on the iOS mobile app.

Audio input is processed on your device, and no audio or spoken content is sent externally.

To use AI Voice Data Entry on the iOS mobile app, a Kintone system administrator must first enable Kintone AI and configure the settings for AI Voice Data Entry in the desktop view.
For details on how to configure the settings, refer to the following page.
Enabling Kintone AI and selecting features to use

AI Voice Data Entry recognizes Japanese and English. If you speak an unsupported language, your input may not be sorted into fields.
The recognized language depends on the Preferred Language setting for the Kintone app. You can set Preferred Language in the Settings app by tapping Apps, and then Kintone.
However, for the language specified in Preferred Language to be recognized, the following settings are also required.

• In the Settings app, tap General, Keyboard, and then Keyboards, and add the keyboard for the language.
• In the Settings app, tap General, Keyboard, and then Dictation Languages, and select the language.

The target fields for AI Voice Data Entry are as follows.

• Text​
• Text area​
• Number​
• Radio button​
• Check box​
• Multi-choice​
• Drop-down​
• Date​
• Time​
• Date and time​
• Link​
• Lookup​:
  After values are sorted into the Lookup field by AI, you must tap the Lookup button.

You cannot use AI Voice Data Entry in apps without any supported fields.

Make sure to keep in mind the following when using AI Voice Data Entry.

The following events occur when recording is stopped or paused.

• The maximum recording time is 5 minutes. When the limit is reached, recording stops automatically, and what you spoke up to that point is sorted into fields.

• If you do any of the following, recording is interrupted and the screen returns to showing the Start voice entry button.

  • Switch to another app
  • Lock your device
  • Answer an incoming call

  What you spoke remains on the screen as a transcript, but it is not reflected in the fields. When you tap the button to start voice entry in this state, what you spoke is reset and recording starts from the beginning.​​

• If you decline an incoming call or the caller hangs up while recording, what you spoke up to that point is sorted into fields.

Depending on the JavaScript, CSS, or plug-in customization applied to an app, the app's Voice Input AI may categorize the contents of a record beyond the customization's intended scope. Also, the contents categorized by the Voice Input AI may conflict with the customization and become different from what was intended.

Example:

• The Voice Input AI for records distributes content to fields that are set to be non-editable or hidden by customization, and it overwrites the content that is already entered in those fields.
• The content that the Voice Input AI for records has categorized is overwritten by a customization.

App administrators should verify that the applied customization works as intended even when a user utilizes the AI Voice Input for Records feature.
