Introuction
The Sanas Widget is a compact overlay that gives you quick access to Sanas controls without switching back to the full app. When you minimize the Sanas App, the Widget stays on top of your screen — whether you're on a local computer or a virtual desktop.
The Widget also provides real-time visual feedback so you can confirm Sanas status at a glance.

Access the Widget
Minimize the Sanas App. The Widget appears as a small overlay on your screen. You can drag it to any position that doesn't interfere with your softphone or other running applications.
Sanas Widget toggle
The Sanas Widget toggle helps you take the following quick actions based on the Sanas product you're currently using:
Accent Translation — Enable/Disable Accent Translation. Noise Cancellation (outbound and inbound) continues running until disabled separately from the Sanas full app.
Speech Enhancement — Enable/Disable outbound Speech Enhancement. Inbound Speech Enhancement continues running until disabled separately from the Sanas full app.
Noise Cancellation — Enable/Disable outbound Noise Cancellation. Inbound Noise Cancellation continues running until disabled separately from the Sanas full app.
Language Translation — Enable/Disable Language Translation.
Visual feedback
The Widget provides two types of real-time status indicators:
Audio waveform animation
When the Widget is visible, and Accent Translation is enabled, an audio waveform animation indicates that Sanas is actively processing your audio.
Taskbar color indicators
The Sanas icon in your taskbar reflects the current status:
Color | Meaning |
Red | Sanas is disabled. |
Amber | Sanas is enabled, but audio is not synthesizing. The reason could be a misconfigured audio source in the softphone. |
Green | Sanas is actively synthesizing audio. |
Tip: If you see a red indicator during a call, check that your softphone's input and output devices are set to the Sanas audio devices and Sanas is enabled from the app.
FAQ
Does the Widget work on virtual desktops?
Yes. The Widget overlays on both local and virtual desktop environments.
Can I reposition the Widget on my screen?
Yes. Drag the Widget to any location on your screen.
Do I need the Widget to use Sanas?
No. The Widget is a convenience feature. You can always use the full Sanas App to control Accent Translation.
The Widget isn't appearing when I minimize the app. What should I do?
Confirm that your admin has enabled the Widget for your group, and that you're running Sanas App V5.2.x or higher. If both are correct, re-initiate your Sanas app session for instant syncing.
