Voice input and voice notes

Here is how to add activities to Famsy by speaking instead of typing them out yourself.

How do I add an activity using my voice in Famsy?

You record a voice message in the app explaining what is happening, including details like the day, time, and location. The recording is transcribed and the AI suggests an activity based on what you said, which you then confirm before it is added.

Do I need to speak in a specific way for it to work?

No, just use your own words to describe what is happening. The AI interprets the transcription and extracts key details like the date and time. If anything is unclear, you can see it in the suggested event and adjust it before confirming.

Is the voice recording saved after it has been transcribed?

The voice recording is used to interpret what you said and generate a suggested activity. The information is managed within your family account and is never shared outside your family.

Can children in the family add activities using their voice?

Child accounts cannot edit the calendar, so only administrators and adults in the family can record and confirm activities via voice input.

Does voice input work in languages other than Swedish?

Famsy is available in nine languages, including English, Swedish, German, and Finnish, and you can record activities in the language you use in the app.

Can I speak multiple activities into the same recording?

You can mention several things in one voice message, but the AI interprets details most accurately when you keep to one activity per recording, so dates and details do not get mixed up.

What if the transcription is wrong?

You will always see the generated suggestion before confirming it. If something was misinterpreted, you can easily tweak it in the draft, or just record a new message if that is easier, before adding the activity to the calendar.

Can I use voice input instead of typing when my hands are full?

Yes, voice input is designed for exactly those moments — like when you are doing the school run or cooking dinner and want to add an activity quickly without typing.

Do I need an internet connection to use voice input?

Famsy is a web app on your phone, and your voice recording is sent off to be transcribed and interpreted by the AI, which requires an active internet connection.

Can I record an activity that applies to multiple children at once?

Yes, simply mention in your recording which children it applies to, and the AI will include them. You can check who the activity is assigned to in the suggestion before confirming.

Are my voice recordings saved as audio files I can listen to again?

The purpose of the recording is to transcribe it into text that the AI can interpret to suggest an activity. The app focuses on creating the finished event rather than storing audio files for playback.

Can I edit a suggestion generated from a voice note in the same way as one from text?

Yes, whether the information came from voice, text, or a photo, you will see the same type of suggested event and can adjust any details before confirming and adding the activity.

Why would I use voice input instead of taking a photo of a note?

Voice input is ideal when you don't have a physical note in front of you and just want to explain what's happening, whereas taking a photo works best when the details are already written down on paper. Simply choose whichever option is most convenient at the time.
