Voice to text in Slack

How it works

A Slack message box is a text box like any other, so system-wide dictation can type into it. See dictation in any app for how that works.

With free tools

• Windows: click in the message box, press Win+H and speak. See Microsoft's voice typing guide.
• Mac: click in the message box and start Apple Dictation. See how to use dictation on Mac.

With Zefmi

1. Click in the message box or a thread reply.
2. Hold your Zefmi key, speak, let go.
3. Read it and press Enter.

Zefmi types at the cursor in any app where you can type. Its AI clean-up removes filler words, so quick spoken messages read like typed ones.

Tips

• Type @mentions and channel names by hand; they are quicker that way.
• For longer updates, say it all in one go and edit afterwards.
