Aqua Voice: I barely type long prompts now, just talk. Saved ~5 hrs typing in 2 weeks. Much more accurate than macOS dictation.
Outlook
Outlook Voice Dictation
Move through your Outlook inbox at the speed you think.
Aqua is a system-wide dictation layer for Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android. On a Mac or Windows PC, hold a key in an Outlook compose window and speak, and your reply appears in the body formatted and ready to send, in the desktop app or Outlook on the web.
Does Outlook have built-in voice dictation?
Yes. Outlook has a Dictate button in the compose ribbon with a Microsoft 365 subscription, and for straightforward replies it does the job. The limits show up in volume. It is Outlook-only, so the Teams message and the browser form you fill in next are back to typing, and it does not know your colleagues, your products, or your acronyms, which is most of what a work email is made of. Aqua is one key across every app, reads the thread you are replying to so the register matches, and takes a custom dictionary for the vocabulary your inbox actually runs on.
How to dictate in Outlook with Aqua
- Download Aqua for Mac or Windows and grant microphone access, plus Accessibility access on macOS.
- Pick your hold-to-talk key in Aqua's settings.
- Open Outlook, in the desktop app or on the web, and start a reply.
- Hold your key, talk through the response, and release.
- Add colleague names, product names, and company-specific terminology to your custom dictionary.
Tips for dictating in Outlook
- Work a batch of replies in one sitting. The speed gain compounds across an inbox in a way it does not on a single email.
- Aqua adjusts the register from the thread, so an external stakeholder gets a more formal reply than your own team without you switching anything.
- Dictate the subject line as well as the body.
- Read back anything with a commitment in it: a date, a number, a promise. Speed is worth having, but not on those.
