Voice dictation in Slack
Place the cursor in the Slack message field you are using, speak the reply you want, and let Cue turn it into a text draft. Review the wording, channel, names, and details before you send it.
The message still belongs to you. Dictation helps produce a first draft while you stay in the current Slack field.
3 example scenarios

FAQ
Where can I try Cue dictation in Slack?
Try it in a Slack text field available on your supported Mac or Windows setup. Desktop and browser behavior can differ, so test the exact Slack client and field you use.
Does Cue send the Slack message for me?
No. This page describes a drafting workflow. Review the text, destination, mentions, links, and attachments, then send the message yourself.
What happens in a thread or channel?
Place the cursor in the specific reply or message field where you want the draft. Confirm the destination before sending because the final Slack action remains yours.
How is dictation different from a Slack voice clip?
Dictation produces editable text in the current field. A voice clip records audio. Choose the format your recipients need and verify the behavior in your current Slack version.
They hear what you said.
Cue sees what you're doing.
And does the thing, in supported apps.
