AICHE +Microsoft Teams Integration
Voice input for workplace chat
Speak professional messages directly into Teams.
The short answer: click into any Teams chat field, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows), speak for 30-50 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted message with proper punctuation ready to send.
Teams lacks native voice input on desktop, forcing you to type 60-90 messages daily while juggling meetings, calls, and project work.
- Open Microsoft Teams desktop app or web version.
- Click into the message compose area (chat, channel, or meeting chat).
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your message, update, or question naturally.
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Review and press Enter to send.
Heads-up: Teams formatting buttons work after dictation. Add mentions with @, attach files, or format text using the toolbar before sending.
The pro-tip: during video calls, dictate chat messages while listening to others speak. This lets you contribute context without unmuting or interrupting the speaker.
Result: sending 25 Teams messages that takes 30 minutes of typing becomes 10 minutes of dictation, and you respond faster without breaking focus from your primary work.
Do this now: open Teams, click into any chat, press your hotkey, and dictate a status update about your current project.
