Send a text by voice

Name a contact or dictate a phone number. Lumyeye Pro asks for your message, prepares it, then opens your phone’s messaging app for you to confirm Send.

Voice texting

One conversation, from recipient to message.

Say that you want to send a text. If you have linked your contacts to Lumyeye Pro, say the recipient’s name. If two people share that name, the app asks which one you mean and continues the same spoken exchange. You can also say the phone number directly, without saving it as a contact first.

The app then asks what you want to send. Dictate the message and confirm when you are ready. Lumyeye Pro opens the phone’s native messaging composer with the recipient and text prepared. You check the details and activate Send yourself, using VoiceOver on iPhone or TalkBack on Android if you use a screen reader.

How it works

Three steps to a prepared text.

  1. Choose the recipient

    Speak a linked contact’s name or dictate a phone number. Clarify a duplicate name if the app asks.

  2. Speak the message

    Answer the app’s prompt in the same conversation, then confirm that the text is ready.

  3. Confirm on your phone

    Review the native message composer and activate Send with touch, VoiceOver or TalkBack.

Your questions

Recipients, dictation and Send.

Can I text someone who is not in my contacts?

Yes. Dictate the phone number instead of a contact name. Lumyeye Pro then asks for the message.

What if two contacts have the same name?

The app asks which person you mean. You answer and continue the same spoken exchange.

Does Lumyeye Pro send the SMS automatically?

No. It prepares the recipient and message, then opens the phone’s messaging composer. You make the final Send action yourself.

Can I use VoiceOver or TalkBack to confirm?

Yes. Use VoiceOver on iPhone or TalkBack on Android to find and activate the phone’s Send control.

Practical tips

Make each text clear and accurate.

  1. Use a contact name when available. Link your contacts first, then say the name you normally use for that person.
  2. Or speak the number. If the person is not in your contacts, dictate the full phone number when Lumyeye Pro asks for the recipient.
  3. Check before sending. Review the recipient and message in the phone composer. The final Send action is always yours.
