How to use Spectra

Spectra sees your screen, speaks what matters, and acts on your voice command. No reading. No staring. No typing. Just talk.

1Getting started

Press Q or say "Hey Spectra" to start.

Allow microphone and screen sharing when your browser asks.

Spectra will say "Connected" when ready.

4Spectra Bridge extension

To control other tabs (click, type, scroll on any website), install the Spectra Bridge Chrome extension:

  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Enable Developer mode (top right toggle)
  3. Click Load unpacked
  4. Select the extension/ folder from the repo

Without the extension, Spectra can still describe your screen and respond by voice.

5Privacy

Nothing touches disk. Nothing persists.

Screenshots are held in memory only, each new frame replaces the last. When your session ends, the data is garbage collected. No files, no database, no cloud storage.

The only external service that sees your screen is the AI vision API for analysis. No other third parties are involved.

6Tips

Speak naturally, Spectra understands conversational language, not just commands.

Say "Stop" at any time to interrupt.

Spectra confirms before destructive actions like deleting or sending.

If Spectra can't find an element, it will scroll and try again automatically.
