Yes this is the problem! Complains there is no network so voice control doesn’t work even though I never initiated voice control and I don’t allow it on the network. I’ll check firmware version but I updated it relatively recently… though I just had a full screen replacement so maybe that moved my firmware back to whatever the new screen’s is somehow. Thanks!

Solved. It only happens when voice control is enabled.

except the voice recognition part doesn't work. other than that! :)

edit: looks like it just won't communicate with apple's server? (Which I think is the main functionality) it's hard to tell since video doesn't show any voice commands working.


Have you tried using voice controls? Not perfect but they work well enough in my experience.

Doesn’t look like this has voice support, which would be the killer feature in the ChatGPT app, if it didn’t fail every time I’m not on my home WiFi.

Have you tried using voice control?

I don't know what happened there, because it should be disabled by default. But if you accidentally enabled it, you can change that in Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control.

This is not correct. I use Spotify daily via Spotify Connect and it happens all the time. I have never used voice control.

Voice is getting better. It's in beta right now. Both parties need to enable it in the settings right now. I tried it recently, and it worked quite well for the most part. They'll presumably iron out the issues before a general release.

Voice control is in the right direction but Home and Echo are in the wrong direction: "You can change anything and see what happens. No black boxes."

I deactivated all voice controls on mine. The entire point of these frames is voice control.

What version do you have installed? The latest version for me is 129.0 which came out 4 days ago, and I don’t see a button after tapping the mic

Has crappy or non-existant voice support.

Use Mumble for that.


Sounds like a UI bug/misfeature, rather than a voice feature.

A voice command probably (1) requires it to be connected to its hub, (2) which needs internet and be able to reach the voice processing servers of the vendor, (3) which needs to be still in business and running said servers.

The reason for needing to reset are likely to be the first and second requirement, so that wouldn't work. The third requirement just means you need to buy a new light bulb (at least that is the way the market seems to work for this gear).


Also, what technical reason could there be for a keyboard to work fine without network access when used with VoiceOver on, but not when it’s off?

What do they use the network access for?


I tried to get Voice Over working but scroll broke once enabled. It says three fingers to scroll but that just won't work for me.

> it has voice in/out,

Do you know how to get this working? I looked through the read-me and didn't see any options for it.


It print the same error even for voices that I have downloaded. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

The new voice capabilities haven't rolled out yet.
