# Voice input for Gemini and Google Workspace

> Gemini is everywhere - Docs, Gmail, Sheets, AI Studio, the Gemini app itself. ParrotPad gives you one push-to-talk hotkey that drops clean text into all of them. No mucking about with browser dictation, no relying on Workspace's own "Help me write".

## Pain points it solves
- **Each Google surface has its own dictation behaviour, or none** - ParrotPad is OS-level. The hotkey works the same in Gemini, Docs, Gmail, AI Studio. Same UX everywhere.
- **Briefing Gemini on a long task is painful to type** - hold, describe, release. Filler and "ums" stripped, punctuation handled.
- **"Help me write" finishes your sentences for you** - no rewriting from us. We give you what you said, cleaned up. Then Gemini does the AI bit.

## Where Gemini users live
- gemini.google.com - long prompts, deep research briefs
- AI Studio - prompt engineering, system instructions, multi-turn tests
- Google Docs & Slides - first drafts before Gemini cleans them up
- Gmail - replies dictated, sent in seconds
- NotebookLM - briefing the model on what the notebook is about
