- **Incoming voice messages** are automatically transcribed using Whisper (requires `GROQ_API_KEY` or `VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY` to be set in your environment).
- **Text-to-speech**: Use `/voice tts` to have the bot send spoken audio responses alongside text replies.
- **Discord voice channels**: Hermes can also join a voice channel, listen to users speaking, and talk back in the channel.
For the full setup and operational guide, see:
- [Voice Mode](/docs/user-guide/features/voice-mode)
