Hey everyone,

This week we’re launching a brand new way to interact with Alter: **Continuous Speech‑to‑Prompt**.

Before, using Speech‑to‑Prompt did automatically start a new Alter conversation window.

Not anymore. You can now interact with an Alter conversation window only by speaking.

This opens a brand new world of possibilities where your Alter experience is more conversational and seamless than ever.

## How It Works

1. **Speak freely** – Just hit and hold the “mic” button (or use your global shortcut) and start talking. Release when finished.
2. **Auto‑inject** – Your words are turned into a prompt and dropped straight into Alter’s active conversation window.
3. **Instant execution** – The command is sent immediately, so you get a fast reply.

If no Alter conversation is open, a new conversation opens automatically. If one is already active, your voice prompt lands there, no extra clicks, no context switching.

## What You Can Do

| **Scenario**                     | **Example**                                                                                                                |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Orchestrate workflows**        | “Schedule a meeting with the team for tomorrow at 3 PM.”  “Now send an iMessage to Sam to let him know about the meeting.” |
| **Ask questions back and forth** | “What’s the latest on project X?”  “Condense it in 1 paragraphs  “Now create a sum up email about it”                      |

All voice instructions can be transcribed locally (using Whisper Pro or Parakeet) for extra speed and privacy.

## Why It Matters

- **Hands‑free productivity** – Keep your hands on the keyboard for typing, but let your voice handle routine commands.
- **Seamless context switching** – No need to open a new tab; Alter knows where you’re talking.
- **Fast local inference** – Zero latency between speaking and seeing results.
