Hotkeys

VoxAction uses global Windows hotkeys to start and stop voice workflows.

Default Hotkeys

Workflow Default hotkey Availability
Dictation Alt+1 Nurgo AI or Whisper-compatible API
Translation Alt+2 Nurgo AI only
AI assisted editing Alt+3 Nurgo AI only

Translation and AI assisted editing hotkeys are registered only when Nurgo AI is selected.

Change a Hotkey

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to Hotkeys.
  3. Open the hotkey selector for the workflow you want to change.
  4. Choose modifiers and a key.
  5. Click Apply or OK.

Use a combination that does not conflict with Windows or your main applications.

Clear a Hotkey

Open the hotkey selector and press Delete to clear the selected hotkey.

Push-to-Talk

Turn on Allow push-to-talk if you want to hold a hotkey while speaking and stop recording when you release it.

When push-to-talk is enabled, you can still use toggle behavior: press once to start and press again to stop.

Hotkey Conflicts

If a hotkey does not work:

  • another app may already use it,
  • the active app may intercept it,
  • VoxAction may be turned Off in the tray menu,
  • the selected AI service may not support that workflow,
  • VoxAction may not have sufficient permission for the active environment.

Try a different hotkey combination that is not used elsewhere.
