6 Powerful Features You Didn't Know Your 'Speech to Text AI' Extension Had

Explore six Speech to Text AI features: finished emails from speech, signatures, 50+ dictation languages, tone and style, Premium replies, and meaning checks.

Speech to Text AI 3.0.0 helps you write new emails from speech and answer messages you receive. Here are six features, from free email generation to Premium replies in the sender's language and a meaning check you can read before sending.

Core Features That Change Everything

1. Turn Speech into a Finished Email for Free

Speak a new email in Gmail. Generate Email turns your words into a finished message with paragraphs and a closing, and is available on the free plan.

To write a new email:

  1. Open a new email in Gmail (click "Compose")
  2. Open the extension and select your dictation language
  3. Start recording and speak your message
  4. Stop recording to generate the finished email
  5. Review the message, then insert it into Gmail

You can insert the generated email or your original words. The free plan includes 60 minutes of dictation a month, with no card required.

2. Set Your Email Signature Once, Forget It Forever

How many times have you typed out a perfect email, only to realize you forgot to paste your signature? In the extension settings, you can save your email signature once. Whether it's your name, title, phone number, or a full professional sign-off with social links, the extension can automatically insert it into every email you compose. No more copying and pasting. No more forgetting. Just perfect emails, every time.

3. Language & Accuracy Hacks: Select Your Input Language for Maximum Accuracy

Choose the language you will speak before recording. Dictation supports more than 50 languages and handles everyday accents; a quiet room and a well-positioned microphone still help. Ordinary dictation uses your browser. Premium adds a higher-accuracy speech model while the plan is active.

4. Choose Your Tone and Style – AI Adapts Instantly

In the extension settings, you can select the tone and style of your writing. You're not locked into one tone forever. Switch between them based on context:

  • Professional tone – for client proposals
  • Friendly – for team catch-ups
  • Direct – for quick updates and urgent matters
  • Empathetic – for sensitive situations, customer complaints
  • Polite – for sensitive situations or formal correspondence

While Tone controls the emotional flavor of your message, Style determines the structure and complexity. Choose from three distinct writing styles:

  • Neutral Style – best for day-to-day business communication (your "goldilocks" option)
  • Casual Style – best for quick team updates, Slack-like emails, close colleagues
  • Formal Style – best for legal documents, official correspondence, executive communication
💡

Simple workflow: Start with Neutral Style for most emails. Pick your Tone based on the situation. Adjust Style up or down based on the recipient.

5. Reply in Their Language or Yours (Premium)

Open a reply, speak your point, and stop. Premium writes the answer in the language of the message you received. Reply in their language repeats that action. Reply in my language writes the same answer in your selected My language, or in your dictation language if you have not chosen one. Read their email shows the incoming message in your language without inserting the translation into the email.

6. Check the Meaning Before Sending (Premium)

Read the outgoing reply in your own language below the draft. A short check can flag an unanswered question, a promised attachment, or a name that does not match. The preview and check are not inserted into the email. Premium also lets you edit the draft with Shorter, More formal, More friendly, or Revise by voice.

Conclusion: Are You Using All 6?

Start with free dictation and Generate Email for new messages. When you need to answer an email in the sender's language, Premium adds replies, a preview in your own language, and a meaning check to review before sending.
