How-To Configure settings in YoKI

In the general settings, you can control the appearance of the AI platform. These include, for example:

• “Language”: The models can respond in multiple languages (regardless of the language set in the settings). However, you can further optimize your YoKI experience by selecting your language for the entire YoKI interface. You can choose not only German and English, but also Danish, Turkish, Persian, and more.
• “Theme”: You can choose whether the YoKI theme should be light or dark.
• “Auto-Scroll to latest message on chat open”:  If this option is enabled, YoKI will jump directly to the latest message in the chat. If this option is disabled, you will need to scroll all the way down to see the latest message when opening a chat, or you can press the “Scroll to the end” button (see below).
• “Archived chats”: This option allows you to manage all archived chats and retrieve them from the archive. You can archive chats by clicking on the three dots next to a chat name > “Archive.”

In the chat settings, you will find all the settings options relating to the appearance of individual chats. These include, for example:

• “Message Font Size”: You can adjust the font size of chats in various increments. This setting does not apply to the YoKI interface itself.
• “Chat direction”: By default, chat messages are displayed from left to right. You can reverse this behavior by changing this option.
• “Maximize Chat space”: When this option is enabled, the chat window is larger and extends across almost the entire screen.
• “Center Chat Input on Welcome Screen”: When this option is enabled, the chat input bar on the welcome screen of a new chat is not positioned at the bottom center as default, but centered in the middle.
• “Open Thinking Dropdowns by Default”: Some models support the function of displaying their own “thought processes” as natural language text, which are decisive for the output. Large language models do not “think” like we do, but are based on highly complex mathematical calculations. These natural language texts are only intended to help users understand and classify the background of the AI output a little better. These thought process texts are displayed in a dropdown format separately from the actual AI output. If this option is enabled, the texts are opened automatically; otherwise, they are not.
• “Save drafts locally”: If this option is enabled, text that you enter in the chat input bar will automatically be saved locally on the device as drafts. This means that the text will be cached and will remain visible in the input bar even if you switch between chats, reload the page, or even restart the browser.
• „Scroll to the end button": If this option is enabled, a button with a downward-pointing arrow appears above the chat input bar. This button automatically takes you to the end of the chat, so you don't have to scroll down manually.

In the language settings, you can configure the behavior of the “Text-to-speech” and “Speech-to-text” functions.

What are “text-to-speech” (TTS) and “speech-to-text” (STT)?

Both technologies are designed to translate speech or language from one medium to another. TTS processes text-based input into spoken words. STT does the opposite and converts your spoken text into digital text input. These functions give you the option of

• having outputs from the language models read aloud, as well as
• recording your own texts or prompts into your device's microphone and sending them without having to use a keyboard for input.

Accessible use of YoKI through TTS and STT

Both features contribute significantly to accessibility. TTS enables people with visual impairments or literacy difficulties to hear text rather than having to read it themselves. STT helps people with motor impairments, speech disorders, or other physical limitations that make it difficult for them to write or type to send text more efficiently and without errors.
