What is Voice Dictation in AI Builder & Assistant?
Voice Dictation adds speech-to-text functionality to both the Workflow AI Builder and the in-builder AI Assistant. Instead of typing prompts, you can click the microphone icon and describe what you want to build or modify. SourCherry transcribes your speech and processes it the same way as a typed AI prompt, generating workflows or applying edits accordingly.
Key Benefits of Voice Dictation
Voice input removes friction from workflow creation, making automation faster and more inclusive for teams of all sizes.
Hands-Free Ideation: Capture automation ideas while multitasking without needing to type.
Faster Workflow Creation: Move from concept to structured workflow in seconds.
Improved Accessibility: Enables users with limited mobility or typing challenges to build workflows more easily.
Multi-Language Support: Dictate in any language supported by SourCherry AI tools.
Seamless Editing: Generated workflows appear in the standard builder for review and refinement.
Voice-to-Workflow Creation (AI Builder)
AI Builder allows you to generate complete workflows using natural language. With Voice Dictation enabled, you can describe triggers, conditions, and actions verbally, and SourCherry will structure them into an automation draft inside the workflow canvas.
This is ideal when creating new workflows from scratch or rapidly prototyping automation logic.

After transcription:
The workflow appears in the builder.
You can edit triggers, actions, delays, and conditions as needed.
You can continue refining using either voice or typed prompts

Using Voice with AI Assistant
The AI Assistant inside the workflow canvas supports conversational edits and guidance. Voice Dictation allows you to speak your requests directly into the Assistant chat instead of typing.
This is best for:
Modifying an existing workflow
Asking configuration questions
Adding or adjusting steps incrementally
Examples:
âAdd a 2-hour delay after the form submission trigger.â
âInsert an SMS reminder before the appointment.â
âHow do I apply a tag when a contact replies?â
Multi-Language Support
Voice Dictation works in any language supported by SourCherry AI prompts. This enables global teams to create workflows using their preferred language without needing to translate instructions manually.
The AI will:
Transcribe your spoken language
Interpret intent
Generate the workflow in the builder interface
