Dictate instead of typing

Click the microphone in any chat - the one beside your draft too - or in the toolbar when you write a note, a todo or a comment, and say what you want; your words appear as you speak, for you to check and send or save.

Some instructions are quicker said than typed: the clause you want tightened, the five points for a letter, what the client told you on the way out. Click the microphone and say it. Squire™ writes your words into the box as you speak, and nothing is sent or saved until you have read it and pressed send or save.

In the chat beside a draft, the lawyer clicks the microphone and the instruction to change clause 9.1 appears in the message box as they speak; they stop, correct the misheard sixteen to sixty, and send it, and Squire changes clause 9.1 to 60 days' written notice.

How it works

  1. 1

    Click the microphone

    It is in the message box of every chat - a matter's chat, your own research, and the chat beside a draft - in the editor's toolbar when you write a note, a todo's description or a comment on a todo or note, and in a draft's comment and reply boxes. The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone.

  2. 2

    Speak

    Your words appear at the cursor as you talk, corrected as more is heard. Type at the same time if you like - dictation carries on from wherever the cursor is.

  3. 3

    Stop, check, send

    Click the microphone again to stop. Fix any word it misheard, then send the message, or save the note or comment, as you would a typed one - in a draft's chat, Squire makes the change you asked for in the draft.

Your draft, until you send it

  • The text waits in the box for you to read and correct
  • It goes where typed text would: a chat message reaches Squire's AI only when you send it
  • Stops by itself after ten minutes, 30 seconds of silence, or when you leave the tab

Nothing kept

  • Your speech is not recorded or stored - only the text you keep
  • Transcribed by a provider Squire chooses for the region, never one a firm can change
  • Offered to your firm's members, never to guests

English only for now. Dictation writes into message, note, todo and comment boxes, not straight into the draft itself.
