Launch Spotify by voice

Q: How do I start the voice request?

You tap or double-tap anywhere on the screen in Lumyeye Pro to activate listening, then say "Play Jacques Brel". No wake phrase to memorize, no button to aim at. Lumyeye Pro opens Spotify with your request, then goes back to sleep — Spotify takes over.

Q: Do I need to create an account to try Lumyeye Pro?

No. Unlike Lumyeye Classic, Lumyeye Pro can be tried without creating an account: you download, you launch, instantly. A voice onboarding at first launch explains how to launch Spotify by voice. Email is only requested at first payment, after the 40 free queries.

Say "Lumyeye, play Jacques Brel" — Lumyeye Pro opens Spotify from your voice request. Spotify then takes over for playback, exactly as if you had typed the query yourself. Lumyeye Pro is a voice shortcut to Spotify.

Sample transcript and context

"Lumyeye, play Jacques Brel." Lumyeye Pro recognizes the voice request and opens the Spotify app with your search. Common variants: "Lumyeye, play Adele's latest album" — Spotify opens on the right result. "Lumyeye, play some Beethoven" — Spotify opens on the composer search.

Once Spotify is open with your request, Spotify takes over entirely: playback, sequencing, volume, pause, navigation between tracks, full Now Playing screen. Exactly as if you had typed the query yourself in the app, except your hands stay off the screen. Lumyeye Pro plays the role of a voice shortcut to Spotify.

Lumyeye Pro does not control Spotify once playback is launched. Controls (pause, skip, volume), library organization and music discovery remain handled directly by the Spotify app. Lumyeye Pro launches; Spotify plays.

Why this is a Pro feature: the voice command that opens Spotify with the right request without touching the screen is exclusive to Lumyeye Pro. Lumyeye Classic can answer "Who's singing?" from a photo of an album cover, but cannot launch Spotify by voice. Available exclusively on iPhone 16+, from $16.99/month.

Testimonial

Cecile, 55, Paris.

"As a former music professor at the Conservatory, music is my oxygen. When my retinitis pigmentosa shrank my tunnel vision to ten degrees, Spotify's touch interface became unusable. With Lumyeye Pro, I launch any work by voice — Spotify does the rest. I listen to more music than before, without fighting the screen anymore."

Practical tips

Launch Spotify by voice with full autonomy with Lumyeye Pro.

Start your sentence with "Lumyeye". The keyword triggers listening. Then say "play", "launch" or "put on" followed by the artist, track or album. Example: "Lumyeye, play Jacques Brel".
Be specific about the artist or title. The more precise the voice request (exact title, artist, album), the faster Spotify finds the right result.
Make sure Spotify is installed and signed in. Lumyeye Pro opens the Spotify app with your request: the app must be installed and your session active. No extra setting in Lumyeye Pro.
Once playback starts, let Spotify do its thing. Lumyeye Pro has done its job by opening the app with the right search. Playback, sequencing and volume are then natively handled by Spotify.
Issue another request to change track. To listen to something else, simply say "Lumyeye, play [other artist]" again: Lumyeye Pro will reopen Spotify with the new search.
