How to dictate emails that are ready to send
The slowest part of email was never the typing, it is the phrasing. Dictate the intent, let the AI do the phrasing, and review before you send.
- A dictation workflow for any mail app
- Say the intent, not the prose
- Greeting, paragraphs and sign-off, handled
ugh tell maya i can't make saturday dinner work blew up and i feel terrible but can we do next week instead
Hey Maya, I can't make Saturday dinner, work blew up. Really sorry. Can we do next week instead?
Tap a style. Same thought, a different landing.
The workflow
Put your cursor in the compose window. Trigger dictation (on a Mac with Speechy: ⌃⌥C; on Windows: Ctrl+Alt+C; on your phone: tap the mic on the Speechy keyboard). Then say what the email needs to do, in whatever order it comes out: "tell Priya the invoice is approved, ask when they can start, keep it friendly, sign off from me".
Why intent beats prose
If you dictate word by word, you are still doing the writing, just with your mouth. The win comes from describing the outcome and letting the model draft: it will address the reader, order the points, add the greeting and sign-off the format calls for, and keep names and facts exactly as you said them.
Review, then send
AI drafts fast and well, and you are still the sender: skim every email before it goes. Speechy pastes the draft into the compose window rather than sending anything itself, keeps your literal transcript one tap away, and never adds anything to your text beyond the optional signature you control.
More than transcription, it frames the message.
Speak or type the messy version, and Speechy hands back the sendable one: the right tone, structure and context, in whatever app you're already in.
The message, not the transcript
Most voice apps stop at words on a page. Speechy gives you the message: the right tone, length and language, ready to send.
24 styles, one tap
Flirty, Firm, Diplomatic, Professional, Gen Z and 19 more. Keep your 5 on the keyboard and switch mid-conversation.
A real keyboard on iPhone and iPad
Every layout you use, with autocorrect and suggestions, plus the mic. On Mac, one shortcut in any app. Windows and Android are on the way.
Think in one language, send in another
Speak the way you think and send it in your keyboard's language, or any of 12.
Good questions, straight answers.
Can I dictate emails in Gmail or Outlook?
Yes. Speechy works at the keyboard and hotkey level, so the draft lands in whatever compose window your cursor is in: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, anything.
Will dictated emails sound like me?
Clarity keeps your meaning, names and facts, and you can add style guidance once (for example "warm, brief, no exclamation marks") that applies to every dictation.
