Use Wispr Flow in Gmail

To dictate email in Gmail, open a compose window, click into the body, hold your Wispr Flow hotkey, and speak. Wispr Flow adds punctuation, drops filler words, and can match a more formal tone, so dictated email reads like written email rather than a raw transcript.

Why email is a strong use case​

Email is mostly prose, and a clear first draft spoken out loud is faster than typing one. Wispr Flow handles the punctuation and cleanup that usually make dictated email look sloppy. You still review before sending, but you start from a near-final draft.

How to use it​

Install Wispr Flow on Mac or Windows, open Gmail, click into the subject or body field, hold the hotkey, and dictate. On mobile, use the Wispr Flow keyboard in the Gmail app.

Tips for better dictated email​

  • Say the structure: "Hi Sarah, comma, new line" if you want a specific layout.
  • Add recipients' names and company terms to your custom dictionary so they are spelled right.
  • Dictate the draft, then type exact figures, links, and names.
