How to Dictate Emails in Apple Mail with FluidVox

Q: Does it work with Apple Mail?

Yes. FluidVox works natively with the macOS Mail app through accessibility APIs.

Q: Is it different from macOS dictation?

Yes. FluidVox offers real-time streaming, AI-powered style matching, custom dictionary support, and per-app tone adaptation that macOS built-in dictation doesn't provide.

Q: Can I switch between accounts?

Yes. FluidVox types into whatever text field is active. Switching between email accounts in Mail doesn't affect dictation.

Q: Does it preserve email signatures?

Yes. FluidVox types text at your cursor position. Your email signature remains untouched.
