Use "Select" to click any button, plus a set of global voice commands unique to Procedures. ## Overview Altoura Frontline on the HoloLens is fully voice-enabled. While executing a procedure in Operator mode, you can navigate steps, respond to choice steps, and toggle Follow Me — all without touching a control. This lets operators keep both hands on tools, parts, or the machine they are servicing. There are two types of voice interactions in Operator mode: 1. **Universal voice selection** — hover a button with the ray or head-gaze cursor, then say **"Select"** to click it. This works on **every** interactive control in Procedures, Remote Expert, and Profile. 2. **Global voice commands** — a small set of dedicated phrases that trigger actions **without any hover required**. These are specific to Procedures. Voice commands are always available alongside standard input. Any button you can activate with voice can also be activated by air-tap or by getting close and touching the control directly. *** ## Universal Voice Selection: "Select" Every interactive control on the HoloLens exposes a **"Say 'select'"** hint when it is in focus. ### Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Point the **ray** or move your **head-gaze cursor** onto the button or icon you want to activate. 2. Wait for the **"Say 'select'"** tooltip to appear beneath the control. 3. Say **"Select"**. ### What Happens Next * The focused control activates just as it would with an air-tap. * The tooltip disappears; the associated action runs. ### Examples On the **Procedures** landing page, focus a procedure card and the tooltip appears beneath it — say "Select" to open that procedure: The Procedures landing page with a procedure card in focus and the 'Say select' tooltip visible beneath it. Inside a procedure, the same behaviour applies to individual steps in the **Task / Step List** panel — say "Select" while a step is focused to jump directly to it: The Task/Step List panel with a step in focus and the 'Say select' tooltip visible beside it. "Select" works on **every** interactive control across the app — including the Task/Step List, dialog buttons, the QR scan flow, and controls in Remote Expert and Profile panels — with **one exception**: the **Next** and **Previous** buttons on the main step panel. See below. *** ## Global Voice Commands (Procedures) Global voice commands are hands-free phrases that trigger their action **without needing to hover** the button first. They are specific to Procedures. ### Follow Me / Unfollow Me | Command | Effect | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **"Follow me"** | Turns on Follow Me for the supported panel. The panel begins to reposition itself in front of you as you move. | | **"Unfollow me"** | Turns off Follow Me for the supported panel. The panel stays fixed where it is. | You do **not** need to look at the panel. See [Follow Me in Operator Mode](/frontline/procedures/operator/follow-me) for the full behaviour, including auto-disable when a panel is manually moved. ### Next / Previous (Step Navigation) The main step panel with the Back and Next arrow buttons on either side of the step title and description | Command | Effect | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | **"Next"** | Advances the main step panel to the next step. | | **"Previous"** | Returns the main step panel to the previous step. | The **Next** and **Previous** arrows on the main step panel are the **only** controls that do **not** respond to hover + "Select". You **must** use the voice commands **"Next"** and **"Previous"** (or air-tap the arrows directly) to change steps by voice. ### Choice Option Labels A choice step showing multiple option labels; each label acts as its own voice command When you reach a **Choice Step**, each option is labelled with text. That text itself acts as a voice command. **Example:** if a choice option is labelled *"Start with the alternator"*, saying **"Start with the alternator"** activates that option — no hover, no "Select" required. ### Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Position yourself within a comfortable speaking distance of the Choice Step panel. 2. Read the label of the option you want. 3. Say the label exactly as written. ### What Happens Next * The matching choice option is selected. * The procedure branches down that path, just as if you had air-tapped the option. If a choice label is long or awkward to speak, you can always fall back to hover + "Select" or an air-tap on the option. *** ## Quick Reference | Command | Requires Hover? | Where It Works | | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **"Select"** | Yes | Every interactive control **except** Next/Previous on the main step panel | | **"Follow me"** | No | Any panel that supports Follow Me | | **"Unfollow me"** | No | Any panel that supports Follow Me | | **"Next"** | No | Main step panel | | **"Previous"** | No | Main step panel | | *Choice option label* | No | Choice Steps | *** ## Tips * **Combine with Follow Me.** Enable Follow Me on the main step panel by voice, then use "Next" / "Previous" hands-free while working — instructions come to you and advance on command. * **Speak clearly.** In noisy work environments, speak at a slightly slower pace and use the full command phrase. * **Fall back to "Select".** If a global command isn't recognised (for example, an ambiguous choice label), you can always fall back to hover + "Select" or an air-tap.
