With Flula

Click the message field, then press your Flula shortcut and speak naturally: switch languages, correct yourself, skip the ums. Flula pastes clean text into the field and copies it too. It never presses Enter, so you can read your message before it goes out.

Slack is already Work chat

Flula knows the Slack app: it’s in Work chat, with Microsoft Teams, and writes Casual there, your words with no full stop at the end. For capitals and full stops, or no capitals at all, open Style, choose Work chat and pick Clean or Very casual. In a browser, Flula sees the browser, not Slack, so the browser’s kind applies, usually Everything else.

Tips

• For quick replies, hold your Flula shortcut while you talk and let go to finish.
• Add teammates’ names and project terms to your Dictionary in Flula, so they’re spelled your way.
• Rather not send by accident? In Slack, click your profile picture, choose Preferences, then Advanced, and under “When writing a message, press Enter to” choose “Start a new line”. Then ⌘ Enter sends.
