Our users are happy with Quicksight Q feature. It is working very well!  
As a next step, I want to add a speech button for my dashboards, near to Quicksight Q search bar at top. This will enable front end user to speak in natural language instead of typing.

I am planning to use Amazon transcribe for this. Is there any documentation for this ?

Hi @rajencho, that’s a great idea. Unfortunately, it’s something you have to add using custom code, check out the developers guide here, [Quick Sight\_Q\_Embedding\_Developer\_Guide.pdf]([https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/quicksight/Quick](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/quicksight/Quick) Sight\_Q\_Embedding\_Developer\_Guide.pdf)

**Note:** I’m not sure if you can intercept the Q search bar with a microphone icon for Amazon Transcribe. On mobile devices, the OS keyboard has a small microphone icon that automatically does the transcribe.

At AWS, our roadmap is primarily driven by our customers. Your feedback helps us build a better service. I have tagged this as a feature request.
