# Voice Commands

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently, Sonoran CAD only supports voice commands in the **Chrome desktop browser**.

Voice recognition is provided by Google, and performance may vary based upon pronunciation, speed, and other factors.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Enable Microphone Access

When navigating to a page with voice commands enabled, the browser will prompt you for microphone access.

![Enable microphone access](https://232668649-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4pGN81fb4R6zFhodcu%2F-M4zeTEvQ005T6qk70hs%2F-M4zgERSEhz7Y0kidoYq%2Fvoice_allow.PNG?alt=media\&token=2a3100db-33f0-4fb4-bf92-a5d7c91d514e)

### 2. Ensure Your Microphone is being Received

Now that microphone access has been granted, a red circle will appear at the top right of the browser tab.
