Introduction

The search functionality in uKnowva HRMS plays a key role in helping users navigate through different modules, locate records, and access information quickly.

To make this even more efficient, uKnowva has introduced a speech-to-text feature that allows users to search the system using voice commands.

This voice-enabled functionality improves user experience, saves time, and supports hands-free operations, especially useful when multitasking or working on the go.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to activate and use the speech-to-text search, reinitiate a voice search, and change the default language setting for voice recognition, all from within your uKnowva instance.

Step 1: Using Speech-to-Text to Search in uKnowva HRMS

After logging into your uKnowva instance, you will land on the homepage.

At the top of the page, you’ll find the search bar, which is used to search content, features, or modules across the system.

Next to the search field, you will notice a microphone icon. To begin a voice search, click on this icon.

If this is your first time using the feature, your web browser might prompt you to allow microphone access.

Make sure to grant the necessary permissions so that the system can capture your voice input.

Once microphone access is enabled, you can simply speak your query aloud.

As soon as you stop speaking, the system will automatically convert your speech into text and trigger the search functionality.

You will then see the results displayed based on your spoken input.

This intuitive feature eliminates the need for typing and helps users who are more comfortable with verbal communication or need quick hands-free access.

Step 2: Initiating Another Voice Search

If you want to search for something else using voice input, the system makes it easy to do so.

After the initial search results are displayed, above them, you’ll notice the search field visible along with the microphone icon.

To initiate a new voice search, click the microphone icon again, speak your next query, and wait for the system to process your command.

This feature ensures continuous and smooth usage without needing to navigate away from the results page.

Step 3: Changing the Voice Recognition Language

uKnowva HRMS also allows you to change the language used for speech recognition, which is especially useful in multilingual environments.

To configure this setting, click on your profile picture at the top-right corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select uKnowva Configuration.

This will open a new configuration interface. On the left-hand side, locate and click on the Plugin Manager option.

This section lists all plugins currently available in your uKnowva instance.

Scroll through the list or use the search bar to locate the uKnowva plugin.

Once you find it, click on it to open a pop-up configuration window.

In this window, scroll all the way to the bottom until you find the setting labeled Speech Recognition Language.

From the available drop-down menu, select your preferred language.

After making your selection, click on the Save button to apply and confirm your language settings.

This ensures that your voice searches are interpreted correctly, no matter what language you speak.
