Speak to type

Talk instead of typing in any message, note or text box — press the microphone, speak in any language, press again, and your words land where the cursor is.

Every message box has a microphone: in the order window's conversation (Dictate) and on the Messages page (Speak to type). And every note and text box has one too, right under the box beside the AI sparkle — order notes, tasks, claims, settings message texts, the Movers App's notes and more (where they are).

Use it

  1. Click in the box where the words should go.
  2. Press the microphone. It turns red and shows a moving sound wave while it listens. The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone — allow it.
  3. Speak. Pauses are fine — it keeps listening.
  4. Press the microphone again (Stop dictating).

A spinner shows for a moment, then your words appear at the cursor. You can keep typing while it works.

Good to know

  • Any language. MoveBoard hears which language you spoke and writes it in that language — whatever language your browser is set to.
  • When it stops by itself: after one minute of recording, after 30 seconds of silence, when you press send, or when you open another conversation.
  • Read it before you send — names and addresses can come out spelled differently.
  • Want it tidier? Press the AI button and Fix spelling and grammar. See AI writing help.

If something goes wrong

  • This browser can't use the microphone — the microphone is greyed. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari, and check the browser may use your microphone (the icon in the address bar).
  • Nothing appears after you stop — the recording may have been silent. Check the right microphone is chosen in your computer's sound settings and try again.
