Email Dictation

Draft Emails 3x Faster by Speaking

Stop typing emails one key at a time. Speak naturally and let AI format your words into polished, professional messages โ€” in any email client.

Email Is Eating Your Day

The average professional spends 2.5 hours per day on email. A significant chunk of that time is spent composing replies โ€” carefully typing, editing tone, and formatting. You know what you want to say. The bottleneck is getting it from your brain to the screen.

Voice dictation changes the equation. You speak at roughly 150 words per minute versus 40 words per minute typing. But raw dictation is messy โ€” that's where OpenWhispr's agent mode comes in. It takes your natural speech and transforms it into clean, well-formatted email text.

How OpenWhispr Transforms Email

Agent Mode: "Format as Professional Email"

Set a system prompt like "format as a professional email" and speak freely. OpenWhispr's AI cleans up filler words, adds proper salutations, fixes grammar, and structures your thoughts into a polished message.

Works in Any Email Client

Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Superhuman, Fastmail, Proton Mail โ€” OpenWhispr pastes via clipboard, so it works everywhere you compose email. No plugins or extensions needed.

Push-to-Talk for Quick Replies

Hold your hotkey, say "Sounds good, let's go with option two. I'll send the details by Friday." Release, and it's pasted. Reply to emails in seconds instead of minutes.

Tone and Grammar Control

Create custom system prompts for different contexts: casual for teammates, formal for clients, concise for executives. Switch between them instantly.

Real-World Email Scenarios

Morning Inbox Blitz

You open your inbox to 30 unread emails. Instead of typing each reply, you work through them with voice: hold hotkey, speak your response, release. Agent mode formats each one properly. What used to take 45 minutes now takes 15. You haven't touched the keyboard once.

Long-Form Client Proposal

You need to write a detailed project proposal email. Rather than staring at a blank compose window, you talk through your thinking naturally. OpenWhispr captures it all, and agent mode restructures your stream of consciousness into organized paragraphs with clear next steps.

Multilingual Correspondence

You work with international clients and write emails in multiple languages. OpenAI Whisper and NVIDIA Parakeet support 99+ languages with strong accuracy. Dictate in Spanish to one client, switch to English for the next, then German for a partner โ€” without changing any settings.
