Voice dictation
Hold a key. Talk. The words are there.
Voice dictation is part of the Groupthink desktop app for Mac. Hold the fn key, say what you want to write, and let go. Groupthink types it wherever your cursor is, in whatever app you have in front of you.
Hold fn
The Globe key on newer Mac keyboards. No window to switch to.
Say it
Talk the way you would talk. Groupthink is listening on your machine.
Let go
The words type themselves wherever your cursor already was.
Anywhere on your Mac
No switching to Groupthink first.
- Mid-email, in the reply you were already writing
- In a Slack thread, in a terminal, in an app that has nothing to do with Groupthink
- In a form field on a web page
- In Groupthink itself, when you want to get a thought down fast
It is not just typing
Everything you dictate is kept.
Every snippet is saved to your Captures history, and when Groupthink can tell who it is about, it becomes part of your record with that person. The thought you spoke into a Slack reply is on their profile the next time you meet. Setup and permissions are covered in the Voice Dictation doc.
