Liquid UI for Android is now optimized to support the voice assistant, which performs actions through voice commands while freeing hands and driving efficiency. The Voice to Text feature allows users to execute SAP transactions, including data entries or executing commands, run reports, and post transactions, resulting in faster execution of tasks.
Liquid UI's voice assistant will listen for key commands in speech, detect them, and accordingly execute operations. Adding to this, the voice assistant fetches data from the SAP backend systems for further processing.
With Liquid UI Voice Assistant, you can perform:
- Navigation between transactions (e.g., Go to transaction VA01).
- Assigning values to the input fields (e.g., Set order type to OR, Set order type to 100).
- Execute the Push button and Context menu options (e.g., Help, Back, Possible Entries, and more)
- Executing operations such as
- Perform Enter - Executes Enter operation.
- Move to the next field - The cursor moves to the next field.
- Move to the previous field - The cursor moves to the previous field.
- Perform Save - Executes Save operation.
- The Voice To Text feature has been enhanced to enable or disable accessibility. To enable it, just turn on the switch associated with it. By default, this option is disabled.
