Edit the text you already have — by voice.
Select a sentence, paragraph, note, prompt, or draft and say what should change. Loqua rewrites it in place, so editing stays in the same voice workflow as dictation.
The first draft should not send you back to the keyboard.
Voice typing gets new words onto the page. Speak to Edit keeps the same interaction going when the work becomes rewriting, tightening, reorganizing, translating, or adapting.
Editing is part of almost every knowledge workflow.
The same capability can serve different people because the underlying job is the same: reshape existing text without rebuilding it manually.
Second drafts without the manual rewrite.
Shorten openings, adjust tone, restructure scenes, or turn rough copy into something publishable.
Adapt one message for another audience.
Turn internal language into customer copy, sharpen outreach, or make a brief more specific before handing it to AI.
Clean up notes and argument structure.
Reshape research notes, simplify explanations, translate text, or turn rough ideas into a clearer structure.
Improve the prompt before you send it.
Select a rough AI prompt and make the goal, constraints, examples, or output format more explicit.
Say what you would normally do sentence by sentence.
Speak to Edit is useful when the change is obvious to you but tedious to execute manually.
Refine text without breaking the browser workflow.
See how voice fits into real work without restarting your train of thought. Explore the workflow, then move straight into the next task.
The same edit can sit inside very different jobs.
People rarely stay in one mode all day, so each workflow should make the next useful step obvious.
Draft first. Refine second.
Use voice dictation for the first pass, then Speak to Edit when the writing needs another pass.
Turn rough notes into something usable.
Reshape a spoken recap into action items, a status update, or a cleaner project summary.
Shape the prompt before AI sees it.
Give AI more context by voice, then refine the prompt by voice before sending.
Ask about the source before you change the words.
When the rewrite depends on a document, chart, or page you are looking at, use screen context instead of explaining everything from scratch.
Edit by voice, with you still in control.
What is Speak to Edit?
Speak to Edit lets you select existing text and give a voice instruction for how it should change. Loqua rewrites the selected text based on that instruction.
Can I use it for more than shortening text?
Yes. You can ask for tone changes, restructuring, clearer wording, translation, summaries, action items, or a different output shape such as bullets.
Can I use it on AI prompts?
Yes. Select a rough prompt and tell Loqua to make the goal, context, constraints, examples, or output format clearer before you send it.
