How to dictate in Slack with Dettivo
Hold Push-to-Talk inside a Slack message box and speak. Dettivo runs STT locally, applies your Slack-tuned Polish profile, and types into the focused composer. Threads, DMs, and channels all behave the same way.
Who this is for
Founders, ICs, and operators who live in Slack and want voice instead of typing. Especially good for long replies, decision rationales, and async catch-ups.
Set up
- 01
Grant Accessibility
Slack is an Electron app; direct insertion works through Accessibility. Without it, Dettivo falls back to clipboard.

Pick a per-app polish profile (optional)
Settings › AI Processing → App polish profiles. Add a Slack profile with the Casual preset and filler-removal off.

Dictate
Click the message composer, hold Push-to-Talk, speak, release.
Why it stays clean
Polish handles Slack-specific cleanup: collapses awkward sentence starts, normalizes punctuation for chat tone, and keeps your dictionary terms intact (your co-founder's name, your product name, your project codenames).
