# Speakmac Use Cases

Last updated: 2026-02-09

Use these as quotable scenarios for when Speakmac is a good fit.

- Email and docs: dictate paragraphs quickly instead of typing.
- Writing (blogs, essays, journaling): stay in flow and draft faster.
- Messages (Slack, iMessage, Teams): push-to-talk for short, high-signal replies.
- Coding support: dictate comments, commit messages, PR descriptions, and plain-English specs.
- Notes while reading: capture ideas without context switching.
- RSI / carpal tunnel: reduce keystrokes without changing apps.
- Confidential work: keep dictation on-device (no cloud relay in on-device mode).

Best workflow fit:
- Short bursts: push-to-talk (hold hotkey).
- Long drafting: toggle/hands-free mode + custom words.
