Choose the dictation route that fits your document
Word has its own Dictate feature. Microsoft’s desktop instructions start at Home → Dictate and require an eligible Microsoft 365 subscription, a microphone and internet access. If that feature already covers your writing needs, you can use it directly.
Google Docs offers Tools → Voice typing in supported browsers. Google currently lists recent Chrome, Edge and Safari versions; an organization administrator can disable the feature. Its voice commands and language requirements are separate from Whispek’s.
Whispek adds a desktop shortcut, text cleanup and a personal dictionary across compatible fields. Use one recording tool at a time, then review the prepared text in your editor.
Prepare an editable place for the words
Open the document and confirm that you can type in its body. A viewing-only document, the browser address bar and a search box are different destinations. Choose the paragraph where the new text belongs before starting Whispek.
- Sign in to Whispek and select your microphone in Settings → Voice and input.
- Check your current voice shortcut; Right Alt is the Windows default.
- Click the intended paragraph without selecting text you want to keep.
- Start recording, speak one passage and stop with your configured shortcut. Keep the intended field in focus.
Dictate a passage you can review
For a project brief, say the purpose, the decision and the next step: “The first draft is ready for review. We need a decision on the two opening options before Thursday. I will update the document after everyone has commented.”
After the text appears, check the deadline and whether the final sentence still says what you intended. Continue with the next passage only after placing the cursor where it belongs.
Keep document formatting in the editor
Text cleanup can make spoken phrasing easier to read. Use Word or Docs controls to apply heading styles, bullets, tables, citations and page breaks. For quotations, equations and exact identifiers, compare the draft with the original source.
Recover a paragraph that did not appear
If Whispek has a result but the document is unchanged, copy the available result, click the intended paragraph and paste it manually. Check for a partial insertion before pasting so you do not duplicate the passage. If you have no editing access, request it or use a document you can edit.
If no text was produced at all, check the microphone, connection, sign-in and usage allowance.
Finish with a saved, checked draft
Read the paragraph in context, correct names and numbers, and use the document’s normal save or sharing controls. Automatic insertion depends on the editor, field and permissions; paste the available draft when needed.
