• Subject line — Click the subject field, dictate a brief subject, then click back to the body
• TalkTone — Use "Professional" for external emails, "Friendly" for colleagues

Google Sheets Tips

• Click a cell before dictating — text goes into that cell
• For dates, say "March twenty-seventh, twenty twenty-six" and it will be transcribed correctly
• After dictating into a cell, press Tab to move right or Enter to move down
• Long text in cells works fine — the cell will expand to fit

Google Meet Tips

• Click the message input box
• Dictate your message and press Enter to send
• This is useful for sharing links or notes during a presentation without unmuting

সচরাচর জিজ্ঞাসা

Does TalkWriter work with Google Docs offline? TalkWriter requires an internet connection for speech processing. If you are offline, dictation will not work.

Why is there a brief pause before text appears in Google Docs? Google Docs processes the paste event, which may add a small delay. This is normal and typically under one second.

Can I dictate into Google Forms? হ্যাঁ। Click any text input field in a Google Form and dictate as usual.
