Voice dictation for Gmail.

Open the reply, hold the shortcut, and say the answer while you still remember the thread. Vokalu types it into the Gmail message body as an email: greeting, short paragraphs, the question you need answered, and your sign-off. No extension to install.

WHAT YOU SAY
Hi Priya, thanks for sending the contract. Um, two things. The start date should be March third, not the first, and can we make the payment terms thirty days? Otherwise it looks good. Best, Sam
WHAT VOKALU TYPES IN GMAIL

Hi Priya, Thanks for sending the contract. Two things: the start date should be March 3, not the 1st, and can we make the payment terms 30 days? Otherwise it looks good. Best, Sam

With Dictate + Format. Your words, cleaned up and laid out for Gmail.
Illustrative example, not a recorded customer result.
01

Click where you’d type in Gmail

Vokalu types wherever your cursor is: a message box, a prompt, a document, a comment.

02

Hold the shortcut and talk

Hold Ctrl + Win on Windows or Control + Option on Mac. Correct yourself as you go (“no wait, Friday”); Vokalu keeps only what you meant.

03

Let go, then read it once

The text appears in Gmail, formatted for it. Check names, numbers and dates before you send anything.

What Vokalu does in Gmail

With Dictate + Format, text going into Gmail is laid out as an email body. A greeting you say goes on its own line, then short paragraphs, then the closing question on its own line, then your sign-off with your name below it. Vokalu never adds a greeting, sign-off or name you didn’t say, and a short reply stays short.

In a browser, Vokalu recognizes Gmail from the tab title, so keep the site’s name in it (it is by default). Only the name “Gmail” is used for formatting; the rest of the title stays on your computer. Google Workspace inboxes that show “Company Mail” instead of “Gmail” are recognized too.

Questions worth asking

Do I need a Gmail extension?

No. Vokalu types into the text field you’re in, in any browser on Windows and Mac. It doesn’t read your inbox or connect to your Google account to do it.

Does Vokalu send the email for me?

No. It writes the draft where your cursor is. You read it and press Send. Check names, dates and attachments first.
