Microphone and speaker check
A spoken conversation with EDIE needs a working microphone and sound. Run both checks below. If either fails you can still type — the answers are the same.
1. Microphone
Not tested yet. Choose Test my microphone, then say a few words.
2. Speakers or headphones
Not tested yet. Choose Play test sound — you should hear a short tone.
Hardware
- A microphone — built into your laptop, phone or a headset.
- Speakers or headphones. A headset avoids echo.
- No camera needed: the assistant never sees you.
- On a phone or tablet, come off silent mode and raise the volume.
Software
- An up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — nothing to install.
- Choose Allow when the browser asks for the microphone.
- Blocked before? Reset it from the padlock in the address bar, then reload.
- Close other apps holding the microphone, such as a video call.
Privacy and alternatives
- Your microphone is only live while a conversation is running.
- Typed chat gives the same answers with no audio at all.
- Captions are on by default and every clip has a transcript.
- A written summary sits beside the avatar for reading instead.

Text alternative & transcript for EDIE Live
EDIE is a live wellbeing companion. The video on the left is an interactive avatar you can speak with; the chat on the right is the text-equivalent channel — everything the avatar can discuss can also be typed and read.
What EDIE covers
- Wellbeing check-in
- A short guided reflection on how you're feeling across energy, focus, mood, and sleep, with follow-up prompts to name what's driving each.
- Coaching conversation
- Open-ended dialogue where EDIE listens, reflects back what it hears, and offers evidence-informed suggestions you can try before your next session.
- Framework grounding
- Links what you share to the EDIE framework pillars — Emotions, Development, Insight, Energy — so you can keep exploring in the reading pack.
