Allow Microphone Access

This guide helps you enable microphone access for Open WebUI, allowing voice recognition features like Speech-To-Text (STT) to work within the application. Due to security concerns, browsers block microphone access by default, but configuring your browser to treat the website as secure (https) can resolve this issue.

By following these instructions, users can unlock the full potential of their Open WebUI experience and take advantage of various features and integrations with third-party applications.


Workspace Prompts: Automating Engaging Output

This guide demonstrates how to use workspace prompts to automate creative tasks, refine your prompts with LLMs, and streamline your workflow using Open WebUI’s Stable Diffusion Prompt Generator. You’ll learn how to import community-created prompts, invoke them in chat, and refine your results through multi-turn interactions, all while leveraging the power of AI-generated images.
