The phone's chat field was type-only. The desktop composer already has a mic — press to talk, press to stop, partials land in the box so you can edit before sending — and the architecture note for this app was that SFSpeechRecognizer is on every iPhone. Composer dictation is the smaller half of that, and it is the half you actually use while walking around. Same engine as electron/resources/speech-helper.swift: an AVAudioEngine tap into SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest, on-device when the recognizer supports it, locales from the user's preferred languages rather than a hardcoded en-US. Composer mode, not call mode — no silence endpointing. Tap the mic to stop. The last partial is what you send. The join (typed text + live transcript) lives in CompanionCore so it can be tested without a phone. Partials replace each other after the text that was already in the field; they never stack. The mic stays next to send. Hiding it once text arrives is the desktop pattern, where Escape stops listening and the toolbar only has room for one action. A phone has neither — this is how you stop, and how you add another sentence by voice after the first one. Backgrounding or an audio interruption stops the session. NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription are in project.yml. Without them the first tap crashes rather than prompting.

Cancel an in-flight start instead of racing a second tap during the permission prompt. Fail closed when the locale has no recognizer. Tear the audio tap down before endAudio so a late buffer cannot fail the recognition task. Treat opening the computer panel as leaving chat (NavigationStack keeps ChatView mounted).

Cancel an in-flight start when send is tapped during the permission prompt. Drop the unused SwiftUI import. Label the README tree fence (MD040). Document the speech Info.plist keys and that a denial is shown on that same attempt. Co-Authored-By: Cursor Grok 4.6 <cursoragent@cursor.com>

In `@ios/App/SpeechDictation.swift`:
- Around line 182-186: Update the recognitionTask callback and handle flow in
SpeechDictation to capture the current generation and reject callbacks whose
generation no longer matches the active dictation session. Perform this
validation before updating transcript or invoking stop(), so stale results and
cancellation errors cannot affect a newer capture.

A cancelled SFSpeechRecognitionTask can still deliver a partial or a 209 after the next capture has already started. isListening is true then too, so generation is what keeps the old callback from rewriting the new draft or stopping the new session.

This feature has been forward-ported onto current main in #391, preserving the original contributor as commit author while integrating with the newer glass composer. I’ll close this conflicted branch after the replacement lands. |

What changed
Voice input in the iOS companion chat composer: tap the mic, talk, tap to stop, then send or edit. Partials stream into the field as you speak.
This is composer dictation, not call mode. Same engine as the desktop helper (
SFSpeechRecognizeron anAVAudioEnginetap), on-device when the phone supports it, using the user's preferred language rather than hardcoded English.The join between already-typed text and the live transcript lives in
CompanionCore(Dictation.draft) so it can be tested without a phone. Partials replace each other after a frozen base; they never stack.The mic stays next to send so you can stop without an Escape key and add another sentence by voice. Backgrounding, an audio interruption, leaving the chat, or opening the computer panel ends the session. Send during the permission prompt cancels the in-flight start.
NSMicrophoneUsageDescriptionandNSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescriptionare inios/project.yml. Without them the first tap crashes rather than prompting.Follows #161 / #204. No harness or sidecar changes.
Why
The desktop composer already has a mic. The iOS README called that out as missing on purpose ("no affordance without a feature behind it"). The phone is the better of the two devices for this, and walking around with a bot is the reason the companion exists.
Call mode and spoken replies are still later. This is the half you use in the chat window.
How it was verified
ios/Tests/CompanionCoreTests/DictationTests.swift.milind-soni/OpenMausBotmain(post-Add ios/: the SwiftUI companion app #161:visibleTranscript, unread-while-open, last-id auto-scroll) rather than opening the OpenMausMobile companion-stack branch.cd ios && swift teston a Mac.xcodegen generateafter pulling —SpeechDictation.swiftis new inApp/.server//src//electron/changes, sopnpm typecheck/pnpm testare unchanged by this diff.ios/TESTING.mdstage 4 step 6 — tap mic, speak, stop, edit, send; lock the phone mid-sentence and confirm the mic is released; open the computer panel and confirm the same.Screenshots (UI changes)
Composer now has a mic to the left of send. While listening the icon fills, pulses, and turns red; the placeholder reads "Listening…".
