# Voice dictation for email triage

> Half your day is replies you already know the shape of. ParrotPad sits in your menu bar and pastes clean text straight into Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman or Apple Mail - no Gemini summary, no "smart compose" trying to finish your sentences.

## Pain points it solves
- **Inbox batching that burns an hour** - dictate the replies. A three-paragraph reply takes 20 seconds spoken, 90 seconds typed.
- **Built-in "AI reply" sounds generic** - no AI rewrite. We give you what you actually said, cleaned up. Your voice, in your inbox.
- **Phone email is awful** - dictate from the sofa with a Magic Keyboard or trackpad open, send from the desk

## Where email-heavy people use ParrotPad most
- Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman, Apple Mail, HEY
- Calendar invites & meeting follow-ups
- Replies to recruiters and vendors
- CRM auto-bcc - Pipedrive, HubSpot, Streak
- LinkedIn DMs (yes, the dread inbox)

## Dictionary samples for email
Q3, P&L, EOD, EOW, cc, bcc, KPI, PTO
