How it works in Gmail
Dictate anywhere in Gmail
Activate with a hotkey in your browser — compose window, reply box, or search bar. NovaVoice types directly where your cursor is.
AI email formatting
Speak naturally and AI structures your email — proper punctuation, paragraph breaks, and professional tone without manual editing.
Send from any screen — no Gmail tab needed
Press your hotkey from any app — code editor, browser, document — say the email, and Nova sends it. You never have to open Gmail or switch tabs.
Works across all apps
Not just Gmail. The same hotkey works in Slack, Notion, Google Docs, Todoist, or any other app — one tool for everything you type, from wherever you are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I dictate emails in Gmail using NovaVoice?
Yes. NovaVoice works system-wide at the OS level — activate it with a hotkey while Gmail is in focus and dictate directly into the compose window. AI formatting cleans up your speech, removes filler words, and produces clean email prose automatically.
Can NovaVoice send emails by voice without clicking?
Yes. With the Gmail Connector, say 'send an email to Alex: subject Project Update, body We finished the design review and are moving to development' — from any screen, without opening Gmail. NovaVoice composes and sends the email without you touching your keyboard or mouse.
Does voice dictation work in Gmail on Mac, Windows, and Linux?
Yes. NovaVoice works system-wide on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Since Gmail runs in a browser, it works identically across all platforms — activate the hotkey while your browser is focused on Gmail and start dictating.
Is there a faster way to write emails than typing?
Dictating emails with AI formatting is typically 2-3x faster than typing for most people. The AI removes filler words and fixes punctuation automatically, so you can speak naturally without editing the output. The Gmail Connector goes further: send full emails from any screen without opening Gmail or touching the keyboard.
