Speak The Draft, Let Grammarly Edit

Short answer: put your cursor in a Grammarly field (Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, Notion, app.grammarly.com), press ⌃+⌥+R on Mac or Ctrl+Alt+R on Windows and Linux, speak the full paragraph, then press the hotkey again. AICHE fills the draft, Grammarly Docs and the Correctness, Clarity, Engagement, and Delivery cards light up, and you move straight into editing.

The Problem

Grammarly is excellent at second-pass editing, but it still needs a first draft. Most people type that draft by hand, stopping every sentence to adjust tone, fix commas, and stare at half-finished lines while Grammarly has nothing useful to analyze. Long emails, briefs, and docs in Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, and app.grammarly.com stall out before Grammarly's strengths even come into play.

Spoken paragraphs are fast but messy when you try to type them yourself. You either simplify your thoughts to match your typing speed or you accept that a 400 word update will cost 15 minutes and a lot of backspacing. The result is that many messages never make it to Grammarly Docs or the Goals panel at all.

How It Works

1. Open Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, app.grammarly.com, or a Notion page where Grammarly is active.
2. Click into the text area that Grammarly underlines - the Gmail compose box, a Google Doc body, an Outlook message, a Grammarly Docs document, or a Notion block.
3. Press ⌃+⌥+R on Mac or Ctrl+Alt+R on Windows and Linux to toggle AICHE recording.
4. Speak the full paragraph or section in one pass without stopping to fix phrasing.
5. Press the same hotkey again. AICHE transcribes, cleans up filler, and inserts the text at your cursor as if you had typed it.
6. Within a second, Grammarly's Correctness, Clarity, Engagement, and Delivery underlines appear on the inserted text. You click through the cards to tighten it.

AICHE runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the same account works on mobile devices, browser extension, Obsidian plugin, and REST API. On desktop the workflow is always the same: hotkey to record, speak, hotkey to stop, text appears wherever the cursor is.

Grammarly Docs As The Editing Hub

Grammarly Docs at app.grammarly.com is the cleanest place to see this pairing. Open a new document, set your Goals, and treat the big editor pane as your drafting surface.

• Put the cursor in the Grammarly Docs canvas.
• Press the AICHE hotkey, speak your whole section, then stop recording.
• Watch Correctness (red), Clarity (blue), Engagement (green), and Delivery (purple) cards spin up against the dictated text.

Because Dictation gives Grammarly a complete paragraph at once, Clarity and Delivery suggestions have enough context to split, shorten, and retone sentences without you ever typing them in full.

Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, and Notion

In day to day work you will likely run this loop directly in the app where the text will live.

• Gmail and Outlook: open a compose window or reply, put the cursor in the body, toggle AICHE, dictate the whole email, then let Grammarly highlight what to cut or rephrase before you send.
• Google Docs: use AICHE for long sections and Grammarly Docs or the sidebar for structure, headings, and tone. Dictate a full section, then accept Clarity and Delivery suggestions on top.
• Notion: in databases and docs where Grammarly is active, use AICHE to fill long update fields, meeting notes, and project briefs, then let Grammarly tighten the style. The combination is especially strong on long Notion pages that would otherwise stay half written.

Everywhere, the rule is the same: AICHE fills the draft on the first pass, Grammarly edits it on the second.

What You Get

• Finished drafts faster: speaking runs around 150 words per minute while typical typing speed is closer to 40. AICHE handles the transcription and basic cleanup, Grammarly corrects and polishes.
• Better use of Grammarly's cards: Correctness and Clarity spend their time on long spoken sentences instead of half lines that you are still typing. Engagement and Delivery have a complete paragraph to evaluate.
• Workflow that matches how you think: you talk through the argument or email in one pass, then switch fully into editor mode with Grammarly Docs and the sidebar instead of trying to write and edit simultaneously.
• Desktop-first with consistent privacy: audio streams securely to the cloud, is transcribed, and is dropped immediately after processing, within 1 second, without long term audio storage.

FAQ

Does AICHE change Grammarly's suggestions?
No. Grammarly analyzes the inserted text the same way it analyzes typed text. AICHE only changes how the words arrive in the field.

Can I still use Grammarly's "Improve it" rewrites?
Yes. Dictate a rough paragraph with AICHE, select it, and click "Improve it" to ask for shorter, more formal, or more reader friendly variants. The spoken draft supplies the concrete details; Grammarly reshapes them.

Will this work everywhere the Grammarly extension runs?
If Grammarly is underlining text in a field in your browser or desktop app, AICHE can insert there. That includes Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook on the web, the Grammarly desktop apps that sit over Word and Outlook, and supported editors like Notion in your browser.

What about platforms and devices?
AICHE supports macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, Chrome, Obsidian, and a REST API. The Grammarly pairing in this article is about the desktop hotkey workflow in your browser or desktop editor, but you can use the same AICHE account across your other devices.

Result and Pricing

Used together, AICHE and Grammarly turn writing into a two step loop: speak the draft once, then let Grammarly's Correctness, Clarity, Engagement, and Delivery cards bring it up to publishing quality in minutes instead of half an hour. You stay in Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, Notion, or Grammarly Docs the whole time while AICHE quietly fills the text fields behind the cursor.
