Voice Interface Basics
Using the Voice Command Interface
The voice command interface is at the core of the Centrical CRM experience. This section will help you understand how to interact with the system using natural language voice commands.
Activating the Voice Interface
There are several ways to activate the voice interface:
- Wake Word: Say "Hey Centrical" (or your custom wake word) to activate voice listening
- Button Press: Click the microphone icon in the top navigation bar
- Keyboard Shortcut: Press Alt+Space (Windows/Linux) or Option+Space (Mac)
- Serebro Wearable: Press the action button on your Serebro device
- Omi Device: Use the wake gesture near your Omi device
When the voice interface is active, you'll see a visual indicator (pulsing microphone icon) and hear a subtle audio cue.

Basic Command Structure
Centrical understands natural language commands, so you can speak naturally rather than memorizing specific phrases. However, most effective commands follow this general structure:
[Action] [Object] [Qualifier] [Details]
For example:
Command Confirmation
Centrical uses different levels of confirmation based on the action you're taking:
- Visual Confirmation: For simple actions, you'll see visual feedback without requiring explicit confirmation
- Quick Confirmation: For standard actions, Centrical will display what it understood and give you a moment to cancel before proceeding
- Explicit Confirmation: For critical actions (like deleting records or sending messages), Centrical will ask for explicit verbal confirmation
You can adjust these confirmation settings in Settings > Voice Interface > Confirmation Levels.
Command Feedback
Centrical provides multiple forms of feedback for your voice commands:
- Visual Transcript: Shows what the system heard
- Interpretation Display: Shows how the system understood your command
- Voice Response: Provides spoken confirmation or asks for clarification
- Action Result: Shows the outcome of the command (e.g., new contact created)
You can control which feedback methods are used in Settings > Voice Interface > Feedback Preferences.
Common Voice Commands
Here are some examples of common voice commands across different categories:
Category | Example Commands |
---|---|
Navigation |
"Go to dashboard" "Show my contacts" "Open opportunities pipeline" "Take me to settings" |
Contact Management |
"Create new contact" "Find John Smith's contact" "Update Sarah's email address" "Show all contacts from Acme Corp" |
Opportunity Management |
"Create new opportunity for Johnson account" "Update Miller deal to Proposal stage" "Show all deals closing this month" "What's the status of the Acme opportunity?" |

Voice Command History
Centrical maintains a history of your voice commands, which you can access by:
- Clicking the voice interface icon in the top navigation
- Selecting "Command History" from the dropdown menu
The command history shows:
- What you said (transcript)
- How the system interpreted it
- The action that was taken
- Timestamp of the command
You can also use the command history to repeat previous commands or create command templates for common tasks.

Accessing AI Insights

Understanding Insight Sources
Centrical's AI insights are generated by analyzing data from multiple sources:
- CRM Data: Contact, opportunity, and activity records

- Engagement Metrics: Email opens, link clicks, document views
- Voice Interactions: Transcribed calls and meeting recordings
- External Data: News, social media, and market information (Enterprise plan only)
All data analysis is performed in compliance with your organization's privacy settings and data governance policies.
Confidence Levels
Each AI insight includes a confidence level that indicates the system's certainty in its assessment:
Confidence Level | Meaning | Visual Indicator |
---|---|---|
Very High (90-100%) | Strong evidence supports this insight | ●●●●● |
High (70-89%) | Substantial evidence supports this insight | ●●●●○ |
Medium (50-69%) | Moderate evidence supports this insight | ●●●○○ |
Low (30-49%) | Limited evidence supports this insight | ●●○○○ |
Very Low (0-29%) | Minimal evidence supports this insight | ●○○○○ |
Consider confidence levels when making decisions based on AI insights. Lower confidence insights should be treated as suggestions for further investigation rather than definitive conclusions.
Providing Feedback on Insights
Centrical's AI system learns from your feedback to improve future insights. For each insight, you can:
- Confirm: Mark the insight as accurate
- Reject: Indicate the insight is inaccurate
- Comment: Provide additional context or explanation
Your feedback helps train the AI system to better understand your business context and preferences.
