Gmail
Answer your Gmail by voice
Yes, Quiet Dictation works in Gmail on Mac and Windows. Click into a reply, hold the hotkey, say what you want to say, and let go. The email is written for you, and your voice never leaves your laptop.
Clear the inbox faster
Speaking is quicker than typing for most people, and replies are where that adds up.
No extension
Nothing to add to your browser. Quiet Dictation types into Gmail directly.
Private by design
Client and personal emails are transcribed on your machine, not in the cloud.
Names spelled right
The personal dictionary remembers colleagues and clients the way you spell them.
How to dictate an email in Gmail
- Install Quiet Dictation on your Mac or Windows laptop and start your free trial.
- Open Gmail and click into the message box.
- Hold your Quiet Dictation hotkey and speak naturally.
- Let go. Clean, punctuated text appears where your cursor is.
- For longer stretches, double-tap the hotkey to dictate hands-free, then tap again to stop.
Gmail on the desktop has no built-in dictation button of its own, so most people either type or rely on their computer's system dictation. Quiet Dictation gives you one consistent, offline way to dictate in Gmail and everywhere else.
