The short answer: open the Grammarly editor or any text field with the Grammarly extension active, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 40-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts transcribed text that Grammarly immediately begins analyzing for improvements.

Grammarly users care about writing quality. That is the whole reason you installed it. AICHE fits into that workflow as the speed layer. You speak your raw ideas quickly, AICHE transcribes them with basic punctuation and structure through Message Ready, and Grammarly applies the second layer of refinement: grammar corrections, tone adjustments, clarity suggestions, and word choice improvements. Two AI passes on your text, one for creation speed and one for quality polish. The result is that a 500-word email or document goes from blank page to polished output in 12-15 minutes total instead of 40-50 minutes of typing and self-editing.

  1. Open the Grammarly web editor at app.grammarly.com, or open any app where the Grammarly browser extension or desktop app is active (Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, etc.).
  2. Click into the text field where you want to write.
  3. Press ⌃+⌥+R on Mac or Ctrl+Alt+R on Windows/Linux to start recording.
  4. Speak your complete thought, paragraph, or section at a natural conversational pace. Do not worry about perfect grammar while speaking.
  5. Press the hotkey again to stop. AICHE transcribes and inserts the text at your cursor.
  6. Watch Grammarly's suggestions appear. Underlines and cards will highlight areas for improvement.
  7. Click through Grammarly's suggestions, accepting or dismissing each one.

The dictate-then-refine pipeline

The traditional writing workflow is: think, type, re-read, edit, re-read, edit again. Each cycle takes time, and the editing often happens simultaneously with the typing, which slows both processes. The dictate-then-refine pipeline separates creation from editing into distinct phases.

Phase one: speak. Press the hotkey and talk through your ideas without stopping to fix mistakes. Let your brain focus entirely on what you want to say, not how it looks on the page. AICHE captures your speech with proper punctuation and sentence breaks.

Phase two: refine. After dictating, switch mental modes entirely. Now you are an editor, not a writer. Grammarly has already identified the areas that need attention. Work through the suggestions systematically: accept grammar fixes, review tone suggestions, consider clarity improvements. This two-phase approach is faster than the blended type-and-edit approach because each phase uses a different cognitive mode. You are not constantly switching between generating ideas and evaluating them.

The quality ceiling is also higher. When you type and edit simultaneously, you tend to self-censor before ideas fully form. When you speak freely first, you capture thoughts that you might have deleted mid-sentence while typing. Grammarly then refines those raw thoughts into polished text without losing the original intent.

Grammarly Go prompts and AI-assisted rewriting

Grammarly Go is the platform's generative AI feature. You can highlight text and ask Grammarly Go to rewrite it in a different tone, expand it, shorten it, or adjust it for a specific audience. This pairs naturally with voice-dictated text because the dictated draft gives Grammarly Go something substantial to work with.

Dictate a paragraph about a technical topic using AICHE. Then highlight that paragraph and ask Grammarly Go to "make this more concise" or "adjust the tone for a non-technical audience." Grammarly Go rewrites based on your original dictated content. The output maintains your core ideas and structure but refines the delivery for the target audience. This is especially useful for taking a casually dictated explanation and turning it into formal documentation, or taking a detailed technical description and making it accessible for a marketing page.

Professional email and academic writing

Email is where most Grammarly users interact with the tool daily. The Grammarly extension works inside Gmail, Outlook web, and other email clients. AICHE works in the same text fields. The combination is powerful for professional email: dictate your response naturally, then use Grammarly to check tone (is this too casual for a client?), grammar, and clarity before sending.

For academic writing, the stakes for grammar and citation formatting are high. Students and researchers who use Grammarly for papers can dictate their arguments and analysis by voice, getting ideas down at speaking speed, then use Grammarly's academic-specific suggestions for formal tone, passive voice adjustments, and hedging language. Dictating the first draft of a research section at 150 words per minute, then spending 10 minutes on Grammarly refinement, produces better results than typing the section at 40 words per minute while simultaneously worrying about academic conventions.

Heads-up: you can use AICHE's Message Ready feature alongside Grammarly, but they serve overlapping purposes. Message Ready cleans up your dictated speech into structured text. Grammarly then further refines that text. If you find that Grammarly is making very few suggestions on your dictated text, Message Ready is already handling most of the cleanup. If you want Grammarly to do more of the heavy lifting, disable Message Ready so AICHE inserts rawer transcription that gives Grammarly more to work with. Experiment with both approaches and see which produces your preferred output.

The pro-tip: dictate full paragraphs without self-editing. The urge to stop and fix a mistake while speaking is strong, but resist it. AICHE captures everything, and Grammarly catches grammar issues afterward. Your only job while speaking is to get complete ideas out. The editing step is where quality happens, and Grammarly handles the bulk of it.

Result: a 500-word polished document that takes 50 minutes of typing and self-editing becomes 5 minutes of dictation plus 10 minutes of Grammarly review. Your writing quality stays high because Grammarly catches what you miss, and your throughput triples because speaking is 3-4x faster than typing.

Do this now: open the Grammarly editor at app.grammarly.com, press your hotkey, and dictate one complete paragraph about any topic on your mind. Speak for 30-40 seconds without stopping. Then watch Grammarly's suggestions appear and click through them. See how fast you go from blank page to polished text.
