How to write emails by voice
Talking is three times faster than typing, and most emails are short. The gap is that spoken language does not read well written down — which is exactly what a language model fixes.
Say it, then let it be rewritten
Dictate the substance without worrying about phrasing: who it is for, what you want, and by when. Repetitions and false starts do not matter — they get stripped out.
Rewriting turns that into an email with a subject, a body, and a sign-off, in the language you dictated. It will not invent a recipient or a signature.
Straight into your mail client
Copying text into a compose window is the step that makes dictation feel slower than typing.
RecordVoice skips it: an email you mentioned becomes a button that opens Gmail, Outlook, or your default mail client with the recipient, subject and body already filled in. You read it and press send.
Read before you send
Speech recognition mishears names, and a model can misread who a message is for. The draft always shows the sentence it came from so you can check it.
This matters most with numbers, dates and addresses — the details that are wrong in a way that is easy to miss.
Frequently asked questions
- Which mail clients are supported?
- Gmail and Outlook on the web open pre-filled through their compose links. Any desktop mail client works through the standard mailto: link.
- Does it send the email for me?
- No. It opens a draft and stops there. Sending is always your decision, so a misheard sentence never leaves on its own.
- Can I dictate in one language and write in another?
- The draft comes back in the language you dictated. Dictate in French and you get a French email.
