# Voice Assistant

> Use realtime voice and dictation with the same tools available in chat.

Navigator supports voice-first interaction for hands-free work, quick dictation, and realtime conversations. Voice sessions can use the same tool layer as normal chat, including MCP tools when they are enabled.

## Configuration

Voice capabilities depend on the providers configured in your environment. Add speech or realtime API keys where your deployment expects them, and add `ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY` when you want AssemblyAI-backed dictation.

```dotenv theme={null}
ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
```

<Warning>
  Treat voice plus tools with the same care as text plus tools. Use manual tool mode for actions that can change external systems.
