| Language |
Sets the language for both voice input and AI responses. Options: English, Vietnamese, Tagalog. |
| AI voice |
The text-to-speech voice LIMA uses for its responses. See the voice list below. |
| Speech rate |
How fast LIMA speaks. Options: slow, medium, fast, fastest. |
| TTS mode |
How LIMA generates its voice. Online streams from Google Cloud — higher quality and faster to start speaking, but requires an internet connection. Offline uses your system's built-in voices — works without internet and keeps speech processing on your device, but lower quality. |
| Microphone sensitivity |
How sensitive the microphone is to your voice. Increase if LIMA misses commands; decrease if it triggers accidentally. |
| End Turn Confidence |
How confident the speech recogniser must be before it considers you finished speaking (0.0–1.0). Lower values end turns faster but may cut you off; higher values wait longer. Default: 0.75. |
