About Audio Feedback

This application uses audio cues to provide immediate feedback, especially helpful when using voice mode. Each sound is designed to be distinct and meaningful, so you can understand what the system is doing without needing to look at the screen.

Click the play button next to each sound to hear it and learn what it means.

Browsers require a user interaction before playing audio. Click any play button or the button below to enable sounds.
