Both controls appear only when the deployment can transcribe or speak. Chat has two voice controls: a **mic** in the composer for dictation, and **Listen** under each answer to hear it read aloud. Each appears only when the deployment behind it can actually do the work. A Chat reply with a syntax-highlighted Python code block and the Copy and Listen controls beneath it ## The controls | Control | Where | Appears when | What it does | | ---------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Mic** | In the composer | The deployment can transcribe | Turns speech into text in the composer; you still press **Enter** to send | | **Listen** | Under an answer | The deployment can speak | Reads the answer aloud | If a control is missing, that capability is switched off for this deployment. There is nothing to configure on your side, and it is not a broken button. ## Language English is the source of truth for spoken and written copy. The interface can be localized under **Settings → General → Language**; model prompts stay in English. See [Settings](/getting-started/settings). ## Related * [Streaming](/chat/streaming) — answers arrive as text before you can listen to them. * [Troubleshooting](/getting-started/troubleshooting) — what missing controls mean.
