Voice Dictation
Speak your questions, dictate your draft.
Voice dictation works in the AI chat and in the manuscript editor. Speak in English and your words land at the cursor. Turn on clean mode and Alfred trims the filler and fixes the punctuation as it transcribes.

How it works
How voice dictation works
The microphone is wherever you are already working.
- 1
Tap the microphone
A microphone sits in the AI chat box and in the manuscript editor toolbar. Tap it and start speaking in English.
- 2
Speak your thought
Ask a question out loud, or dictate a paragraph straight into your draft. Your words appear at the cursor, right where you were working.
- 3
Keep the flow
Turn on clean mode and Alfred removes filler words and fixes punctuation as it transcribes, so what lands on the page reads like writing, not talking.
Two places, one voice
Dictate where the work happens
Dictate at the cursor
Voice input drops your words exactly where the cursor sits, in the middle of a sentence or at the end of a section. No separate transcription window, no copy and paste.
Clean mode
An optional clean mode removes filler words like "um" and "you know" and fixes punctuation as it goes. Turn it off when you want a verbatim transcript instead.
Speak your questions
Ask Alfred a question by voice in the AI chat. Useful when you are reading with your hands on a paper and your eyes off the keyboard.
Dictate your manuscript
Draft directly into the manuscript editor by voice. Get a first pass down while the thought is fresh, then tidy it with the writing tools already in the editor.
Where to next
