Windows Explorer Integration

The short answer: open Windows Explorer, select file and press F2 to rename, press Ctrl+Alt+R, speak descriptive filename for 5-15 seconds, and AICHE inserts formatted name ready to save.

Typing descriptive filenames with proper context creates friction in file organization workflows, and most people use generic names like "document-v3-final" because detailed naming feels tedious.

1. Open Windows Explorer (Win+E).
2. Navigate to your files.
3. Select a file and press F2 to enter rename mode (or right-click and choose "Rename").
4. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
5. Speak the descriptive filename (example: "Q4 2024 financial report final board presentation approved version").
6. Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes and inserts the filename.
7. Press Enter to save the new filename.

Heads-up: Windows filenames can't contain certain characters (less than, greater than, colon, quotes, pipe, backslash, forward slash). AICHE transcribes what you say literally, so speak "dash" or "underscore" explicitly if you want those separators.

The pro-tip: use Windows Explorer's Details pane (right-click Properties or Alt+Enter) to add descriptive metadata using AICHE. Dictate detailed descriptions into Comments or Tags fields. These become searchable in Windows Search without cluttering your filenames.

Result: organizing 30 files with descriptive names that takes 20 minutes of typing becomes 6 minutes of dictation, and future file searches become significantly more effective with clear contextual names.

Do this now: open Windows Explorer, navigate to your Downloads or Documents folder, select one poorly-named file, press F2 to rename, then press your hotkey and dictate a descriptive name that explains what the file actually contains and when it was created.
