How do I dictate a social post?
Open any social network in your browser and click the post or reply composer. A microphone icon appears next to the field. Click it, speak your post, and the transcribed text is inserted with automatic punctuation. Works for main posts, replies, comments, direct messages, and even alt-text fields.
Why dictate social posts?
- Speed. Replying to a thread by speaking is dramatically faster than typing on a keyboard.
- Voice tone. Speaking tends to produce friendlier, more conversational copy than the formal phrasing people default to when typing.
- Less friction on long replies. If a reply needs more than one line, dictation makes it feel weightless.
Workflow tips
- Speak the hook first. The first sentence carries the most weight on social — say it deliberately.
- Pause at the end of each sentence so the engine inserts a period and capitalizes the next word.
- Watch the native character counter for short-format networks; the extension transcribes everything you say.
- Edit at the end rather than as you go — one quick pass is faster than constant correction.
Accessibility wins
Adding alt text and captions is a known friction point that many people skip. With dictation, you can add a useful one-sentence description in roughly five seconds — well worth the effort and improves reach.
Does it work for direct messages?
Yes. Direct-message composers are normal text fields, and the extension treats them like any other input. Useful for fast replies on the go.
