Inner Voice Coach

A small coach for the moments when your own thoughts talk you out of asking for help. You can type your answers, or speak them if you would rather.

your participant ID

This is the same ID printed on your consent form. We use it only to match your responses across the surveys and this artifact. It is not your name and holds nothing personal.

prefer to speak instead of type?
Off by default. If you would rather talk than type, turn this on and the coach will listen and speak back. You can switch to typing whenever you like, and the mute button up top keeps the coach quiet in shared spaces.

state machine
v14 reflection-tool demo, what is real
implemented: hub-and-spoke home, real voice input (Web Speech API) with live transcription, coach text-to-speech speak-back + mute, breathing coach orb that reacts to listen/speak, modality telemetry (voice/text/voice-then-edit), flow logic, safety-pipeline state, Burns picker, 3-point believability anchors, Settle, crisis-flag pause.
LLM: calls /api/reframe Cloudflare Worker if reachable; falls back to deterministic candidates if the Worker fails, returns invalid JSON, or safety-rejects. The logged mode field shows which path ran.
voice notes: deployed, voice records audio and transcribes it server side via Cloudflare Whisper on the study account, English pinned, audio processed in memory and not retained, uniform across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and iOS Safari. Opened directly from disk for local testing only, it falls back to the browser speech API. Spoken transcripts run the same crisis check as typed text before any reframe.
data flow, final: the live Qualtrics post-survey URL is set in this build. By design there is no server-side event store. The few numeric session ratings ride the post-survey link as query parameters and land in Qualtrics embedded data, so Qualtrics is the only data store.
