Emails & replies

Get the reply out of your head.

Speak the message you mean, shape it into a readable draft, and check it before sending.

The short answer

Voice-to-text for email lets you start with the message instead of the opening sentence. Say who the email is for, the facts they need and the response you want. Sonicribe can shape those words into an email draft using your formatting instructions, ready for your review and copy.

Here is what that could look like

A short reply can take longer than it should when you keep rewriting the opening. Start with what you actually want to say.

Prepared sample · no recording

What you say

Tell Mina I reviewed the proposal. The scope looks good. Could she send the revised timeline by Thursday? Thank her for the update.

Example to review

A workflow you control

Speak. Review. Keep going.

  1. 1

    Say the recipient, message and requested action.

  2. 2

    Ask for an email format in your custom instructions.

  3. 3

    Review the tone, names and date, then send it yourself.

Examples for everyday work

One message. A few different kinds of reply.

Give the draft the information a recipient needs to respond. Names, dates and promises should come from you.

Reschedule without losing the request

Offer a specific alternative and leave room for the other person to choose.

What you say
Tell Jae I cannot make our Tuesday call at two. Ask if Wednesday at the same time works. Say sorry for the change. Keep it short.
Your instruction
Write a brief, friendly email. Keep the proposed time as a question, not a confirmed booking.
Example draft
Hi Jae, Sorry for the change, but I cannot make our Tuesday call at 2. Would Wednesday at the same time work for you? Thanks!

Give a clear project update

Separate what is finished from the one thing you need back.

What you say
The draft is ready for review. Two screenshots are still placeholders. Ask Sam to check the section order by Friday. We will replace the screenshots after that.
Your instruction
Use a short subject line, a status sentence and one clear request. Do not call the draft final.
Example draft
Subject: Draft ready for section-order review Hi Sam, The draft is ready for review, with two placeholder screenshots. Could you check the section order by Friday? We will replace the screenshots after that. Thanks!

Illustrative examples. Your result depends on your recording and instructions.

Make it your own

An instruction you can reuse

Turn my words into a concise email with a greeting, the essential context and one clear request. Use a warm, direct tone. Preserve names, dates and uncertainty. Do not add promises, attachments or facts I did not mention.

Copy this instruction and adapt it to the work in front of you.

The final choices are yours

A quick review before you use it

  • Confirm the recipient and whether the greeting fits your relationship.
  • Check the date, time and timezone when a schedule is involved.
  • Make sure the requested action is clear.
  • Remove any commitment you did not intend to make.

The features behind this workflow

  • Custom formatting for a greeting, body and closing.
  • Polishing to make a spoken message easier to read.
  • Copy from history to continue working on a draft.

Before you start

Will it send emails for me?

No sending action is part of this example. You review the text and use your own email application.

Can it fill in missing details?

Supply the facts you want included. Do not rely on formatting to invent names, dates or commitments.

How do I keep a dictated email concise?

Speak the essential context and the one action you want the recipient to take. Ask for a short draft, then remove anything the recipient does not need to respond.

Can I download the new app now?

The new cloud app is planned as a separate DMG and is not available to download yet. This launch does not update existing installed copies. Release status
