Phase 0 spike — run all three tests, then share the report back on WhatsApp.
Environment detecting…
Tier 1 · Web Speech API not tested
Transcript appears here…
Pick the language you will actually speak first — Web Speech does not auto-detect; if you speak Telugu while this is set to English you get garbage. Then Start, allow the mic, and speak a test sentence (e.g. “I want a loan of 10 lakh rupees.” / “నాకు 10 లక్షల రూపాయల లోన్ కావాలి.”).
Tier 2 · Keyboard dictation not tested
This tests the phone keyboard's built-in voice typing (Gboard / iOS dictation). We can't trigger it from code — tap the mic key on the keyboard itself, speak, then press one of the buttons above.
Tier 3 · Audio capture (server STT path) not tested
Records a 5-second clip in the browser and plays it back. This proves the fallback path (audio → our own in-country server) works on this device. Nothing is uploaded — the clip stays on the phone.
Verdict & report pending
Run the tests above, then the verdict appears here.
