Assistant Mode
Use Respond output to ask questions and keep answers inside the recorder.
What Assistant Mode Is
Assistant Mode is a Mode configured with AI enhancement and Output -> Respond. Instead of pasting text into the active app, VoiceInk shows the AI response inside the recorder.
The starter Assistant Mode uses the Assistant prompt and is designed for short questions, summaries, and follow-ups.
Follow-ups
When an assistant response is visible and the recorder is idle, starting another recording continues the same assistant session. You can also type a follow-up in the recorder's assistant panel.
Closing the recorder resets the assistant session.
History
Assistant turns are saved in History. The detail panel can show the transcription model, enhancement model, prompt, Mode, timing, and AI request data when available.
Difference From Enhancement
Enhancement rewrites your dictated text and usually pastes it.
Assistant Mode treats your speech as a question or instruction and returns an answer in the recorder.
