Step01of 05 ·Speak
Dictate the letter. Read a first draft in your firm’s style.
One minute, start to finish: a recording becomes a letter, a spoken change shows exactly what it altered, and the result opens in Word on your letterhead.
In this demo: a recording becomes a client letter. Missing facts stay as red placeholders. A spoken instruction changes the wording, then the letter exports to Word on the firm’s letterhead. For a larger view, use Full screen in the player and turn your phone sideways.
