Before you start

Voice input needs microphone access. Describe one clear transaction at a time, for example: “Today I spent 450 roubles on groceries”.

02

What to do

  1. Open voice input and allow the microphone if you want to use it.
  2. Start recording and state the transaction type, amount and purchase. Mention the date if it was not today.
  3. Finish recording and wait for processing.
  4. Review the amount, date, account and category in the displayed form.
  5. Correct mistakes and confirm. Find the saved entry in Transactions.
03

If something goes wrong

  • Microphone unavailable: check Spendella’s Android permission or the website’s browser permissions.
  • Recognition is wrong: correct the fields manually rather than recording everything again.
  • AI allowance exhausted: check your plan or enter the transaction manually.

What you should see

The purchase enters your records after confirmation, not merely after speaking.

A saved demo purchase: its name, category, account and amount appear together. Your entry will look like this. A saved demo purchase: its name, category, account and amount appear together. Your entry will look like this.
