Voice Intents Overview

Magic Leap 2 allows users to trigger events using custom verbal commands called Voice Intents. This section outlines how to set up Voice Intents in your project, example scripts, and an API overview.

Note that :

  • Voice Intents can only be used by one app at a time.
  • To avoid conflicts between system and app voice intents, the API automatically stops voice processing when the application is paused and resumes it when resuming the app.
info

Unlike system-wide voice commands that are initiated by saying "Hey Magic Leap", you do not need to say "Hey Magic Leap" for voice input to work in your Unity app.

caution

Within the System Settings, the Magic Leap Inputs Voice must be enabled for this API to work. The API could return unknown failures if it is not. To enable:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Magic Leap Inputs > Voice.
  2. Toggle Voice Commands on.
caution

This feature requires the VOICE_INPUT permission to be requested at runtime and enabled in your project's Manifest Settings (Edit > Project Settings > Magic Leap > Manifest Settings).
