Voice Coach FAQ
Talk to log your routine. Check the read-back, then confirm. Included with Pro: 30 voice minutes a month.
Who can use Voice Coach?
Voice Coach is included with Pro on doseroutine.com, with 40 voice minutes per calendar month. It is not enabled in the current iPhone or Android app release; native availability requires a future app update.
How do I start a conversation?
Open Home and tap Talk to Coach. Choose a coach style, then tap Start talking. Allow microphone access when asked. Opening the panel or reading the walkthrough does not start a conversation.
What can I log by voice?
You can log scheduled doses, meals and workouts, or ask what is due today. Try “I took my magnesium”, “log a meal” or “I did 3 sets of squats, 10 reps at 100 kg”. The coach does not control every function in the app.
How does scanning a meal work?
Say “scan my meal” to open the scanner, then take or choose a photo yourself. Review the estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat. You can say “change protein to 40” before confirming. Photo estimates can be wrong; check the result before saving.
Will the coach save without asking?
No. It prepares a draft and reads it back first. Say “yes” or “save” only when the details are correct. Each confirmed save appears with Undo in the coach panel. You can also review your records in Home, your food diary or training history.
Is the microphone always listening?
No. The microphone is used only during a conversation you start. Mute pauses your microphone; End finishes the conversation. Closing the coach panel also ends it. It does not listen for a wake word or keep listening in the background.
How do the monthly minutes work?
Pro includes 40 minutes of connected voice conversations each month, including listening time. The panel shows your remaining minutes. The allowance resets on the first day of the month in UTC. Each conversation lasts up to 5 minutes; tap Talk to Coach again to continue. End the conversation when finished; ordinary manual logging stays available when voice minutes run out.
What if the coach cannot hear me or I cannot hear it?
Check microphone permission for doseroutine.com in your browser or phone settings, turn up your volume and check your internet connection. If Play voice appears, tap it to allow audio playback. End and restart the conversation if needed, or use the usual logging screens.
Can I choose the coach's personality?
Yes. Choose Calm, Upbeat or No-nonsense before starting. Your choice is remembered on your account. End the current conversation before changing styles.
Can Voice Coach recommend doses or replace medical advice?
No. It helps record your routine and offers general coaching, not medical or dosing advice. Follow your clinician's instructions and seek professional help for symptoms, interactions or treatment changes. It is not an emergency service.
What information is used during a conversation?
Your spoken requests and relevant routine information are processed by the voice AI service to answer and prepare records. Confirmed records are saved to your account. Avoid sharing information you do not want processed, and read DoseRoutine's Privacy Policy for data practices.
