Revolutionary Voice-Controlled CAD Platform

FluxCore Dynamics is the world's first voice-controlled CAD platform, enabling complete hands-free design workflow through natural speech recognition and intelligent command interpretation powered by advanced AI.

Natural Speech

Speak naturally - no rigid commands or exact syntax required.

AI Understanding

Advanced NLP understands engineering terminology and context.

Universal Access

Complete accessibility for engineers with diverse needs and abilities.

Accessibility Impact:

Opens photonic design to 15% more engineers, making CAD truly inclusive

Getting Started with Voice Control

1Voice Setup & Activation

Initial Setup:

  1. Allow microphone access when prompted
  2. Complete voice calibration (optional)
  3. Choose activation method (push-to-talk vs always-on)
  4. Set voice feedback preferences
  5. Test with simple command: "Hello FluxCore"

Privacy First: All voice processing happens locally in your browser. No voice data is sent to servers.

Activation Methods:

Push-to-TalkSpacebar (default)
Wake Word"Hey FluxCore"
Always ListeningContinuous

2Basic Voice Commands

Start with these essential commands to navigate and control FluxCore Dynamics using only your voice.

Navigation Commands:

"Zoom to fit all"
Adjusts view to show entire design
"Pan left 100 microns"
Moves view in specified direction and distance
"Center on selected component"
Centers view on currently selected item

Basic Actions:

"Select all waveguides"
Selects all components of specified type
"Copy selected"
Copies current selection to clipboard
"Undo last action"
Reverts the most recent change

3Component Manipulation

Use natural language to add, position, and configure photonic components in your design.

Adding Components:

"Add ring resonator"
Places component at cursor position
"Place MMI coupler here"
Adds component at specified location
"Insert directional coupler between selected"
Smart placement between components
"Add 5 straight waveguides in a row"
Array placement with natural language

Positioning & Transformation:

"Move selected right 10 microns"
Precise positioning with units
"Rotate ring 45 degrees"
Rotation with angle specification
"Align selected components horizontally"
Smart alignment operations
"Mirror selection about vertical axis"
Reflection transformations

Smart Connections

Create connections between components using intuitive voice commands.

"Connect port A to port B"
Direct port-to-port connection
"Link ring input to waveguide output"
Component-aware connection naming
"Route connection avoiding other components"
Intelligent routing with constraints

Simulation Control

Control simulation and analysis through voice commands.

"Run simulation"
