Appearance¶

Setting	Description
Text Size	Font size for the chat history. Options: 10–30 pt. Default: 14 pt.

Setting	Description
Language	Sets the language for both voice input and AI responses. Options: English, Vietnamese, Tagalog.
Text-to-Speech voice	The voice LIMA uses for its responses. See the voice list below.
Speech rate	How fast LIMA speaks. Options: slow, medium, fast, fastest.
Text-to-Speech mode	How LIMA generates its voice. Online (Conversational voice) uses a natural-sounding voice and starts speaking almost immediately — higher quality, but requires an internet connection. Offline (Robot Style voice) uses a voice built into your computer — it works without internet and keeps speech on your device, but sounds more robotic.
Microphone sensitivity	How sensitive the microphone is to your voice. Increase if LIMA misses commands; decrease if it triggers accidentally.
Finished-speaking sensitivity	How quickly LIMA decides you have finished talking and starts to reply. A lower setting makes LIMA respond sooner but it may cut you off; a higher setting makes it wait a little longer to be sure you're done. Default: 0.75.

Note

Algenib, Aoede, Sadaltager, and Callirrhoe are available for English and Vietnamese only. Tagalog uses the first four voices.

Four hotkeys can be customised here. See Keyboard Shortcuts for the full list and instructions.

Setting	Description
Descriptive Video Service (DVS)	Automatically narrates what is happening on screen during YouTube and Facebook videos. Options: off, minimal, regular, verbose. Default: regular.

Screen to capture	Which display LIMA screenshots when observing your screen. Options: Main screen only, All screens (span every monitor). Default: Main screen only.
AI model	The AI that powers all of LIMA's responses and screen reading. See the model list below.
Thinking level	How much the AI model reasons before answering. Off is fastest; higher levels reason more deeply but respond more slowly. Options: off, low, medium, high. Default: low.
Conversation history (messages)	How many of your recent messages LIMA keeps in mind during a conversation. Options: 10, 15, 20, 30, 50. Default: 20.
Screenshot count	How many recent pictures of your screen LIMA looks at when answering. More can improve accuracy but is a little slower. Options: 1–5. Default: 4.
Enable voice mode on startup	When enabled, voice mode activates automatically when LIMA starts.
Minimize to tray on close	When enabled, closing the LIMA window sends it to the system tray instead of exiting.
