How do I enable speech recognition on my Blade?

Speech Recognition can be enabled from the Settings app on the Blade or by using the Blade Companion App. On the Blade, go to Settings > Device > Speech Recognition and select the microphone icon to enable or disable Speech Recognition. In the Blade Companion App, Speech Recognition can be enabled or disabled on a linked and connected Blade by going to the Settings tab > Speech Recognition and tapping the "Enable" control.

When Speech Recognition is first enabled, it will be listening for the trigger phrase "Hello Vuzix". After Speech Recognition hears the phrase "Hello Vuzix", an icon showing a microphone inside a circle will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen. This indicates that Speech Recognition is ready to listen for your commands. When you are finished using Speech Recognition, use the command "Voice Off" to deactivate Speech Recognition. Upon hearing this phrase, the listening icon should disappear and Speech Recognition will resume listening for the trigger phrase "Hello Vuzix". Speech Recognition will automatically deactivate itself after a certain amount of time with no voice activity.

Speech Recognition can also be activated by using a tap on the left side of the Blade. This feature must be enabled on the Speech Recognition page in the Settings app before it will be available. Activating Speech Recognition using a tap operates the same as saying the trigger phrase "Hello Vuzix". The sensitivity of this trigger can also be adjusted on the Speech Recognition page in the Settings app.
