Voice typing in
Gmail.
Email is the highest word-count thing most people do on a phone, which makes it the worst thing to thumb-type. Dictate the reply and it lands as clean text, sentence by sentence, in the compose field.
Three steps, once
1. Install.
Download Fastspoken and follow the four-step setup. No account needed for the free plan.
2. Open Gmail.
Put the cursor where words should go, exactly like you were about to type.
3. Tap and talk.
Tap the bubble, speak like a person. Whole sentences land at the cursor about two seconds after each breath.
Pro polish is built for email: self-corrections collapse and filler disappears, so what lands reads like you wrote it at a desk.
Private in Gmail, by architecture.
Fastspoken works through Android's keyboard layer, so Gmail just receives typed text, exactly as if you had used the keyboard. On the free plan your speech becomes text on the phone itself: offline, no account, and your words never touch a server. See the whole machine.
No server in the loop on the free plan.
Questions about Gmail
Can I dictate a whole email?
Yes. Speak in sentences and take a normal breath between them, each one lands whole in the compose field. Subject line too, it is just another text field.
Does Gmail see my voice?
No. On the free plan speech becomes text on your device. Gmail receives typed characters, exactly as if you had a keyboard.
