Voice Typing for Google Docs on Windows

Google Docs' built-in Voice Typing feature has been around for years. It requires Chrome, it requires a Google account, and it delivers raw transcription with minimal formatting. Punctuation is hit-or-miss, capitalization is inconsistent, and you lose it entirely if you prefer Firefox, Edge, or Brave as your browser. QuickSay solves all of these problems because it operates at the system level, not inside the browser.

Works in Any Browser, Not Just Chrome

QuickSay is not a browser extension. It is a Windows application that captures your voice, transcribes it with Groq Whisper, cleans the output with LLaMA, and pastes the result into whatever text field has focus. Open Google Docs in Firefox, Edge, Brave, or Arc — it does not matter. Hold your hotkey, speak, release, and polished text appears at your cursor. The same workflow applies whether you are editing a shared document, leaving a comment, or renaming a file in Google Drive.

Cleaner Output Than Built-in Voice Typing

The difference between raw transcription and LLaMA-cleaned text is striking in a document context. Google's built-in tool gives you exactly what you said, ums and sentence fragments included. QuickSay gives you what you meant.

That cleanup happens in under two seconds. For anyone writing reports, meeting notes, or project briefs in Google Docs, this transforms dictation from a novelty into a genuine productivity tool.

Collaborative Documents

Google Docs is built for collaboration, which means your writing is visible to colleagues in real time. QuickSay's LLaMA cleanup ensures that what lands in the document reads professionally from the moment it appears. No one sees your rough spoken draft — they see the polished version. This is especially useful during live editing sessions where multiple people are watching the same document.

Comments and Suggestions

Google Docs comments are one of the most underserved areas for voice typing. Built-in tools do not work in the comment sidebar. QuickSay does. Click into a comment field, dictate your feedback, and the cleaned text appears ready to post. For document reviewers who leave dozens of comments per session, this cuts review time significantly.

25 Languages for International Teams

Google Docs' voice typing supports multiple languages, but switching between them requires navigating a dropdown menu every time. QuickSay supports 25 languages through Groq Whisper with automatic detection. Speak in the language you need — Spanish, German, Japanese, Portuguese — and the transcription handles the switch without manual configuration. For teams creating multilingual documents, this removes a genuine friction point.

Privacy in Shared Workspaces

QuickSay captures zero screen content and sends zero telemetry. Your audio goes to Groq for transcription and nothing else leaves your machine. In workplaces where Google Docs contains sensitive business information, this matters. There is no browser extension reading your document content, no clipboard monitoring beyond the paste action, and no usage data collected.
