Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the invisible editor.
How is Rubil different from other voice dictation tools?
Most voice dictation tools do one of two things. They either transcribe exactly what you said (including the mess), or they rewrite it in the AI's voice. Rubil does neither. It formats your words for the platform you're writing in. The same voice input becomes a structured email in Gmail, a concise message in Slack, or a formatted ticket in Jira. It also knows your world: your team's names, your @handles, your acronyms, your jargon. No other voice tool offers platform-specific formatting or a personal dictionary this deep. And it's a Chrome extension, so there's nothing to install on your desktop.
Does Rubil work with Google Docs, Slack, and Gmail?
Yes. Rubil is a voice dictation Chrome extension that works in any text input on the web, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Docs, Jira, Linear, Asana, Salesforce, HubSpot, Confluence, and more.
Does Rubil add punctuation and formatting automatically?
Yes. Unlike basic speech to text tools, Rubil automatically adds punctuation, bullet points, and proper formatting based on the platform you're writing in. Voice to text with formatting is what Rubil was built for.
How does the personal dictionary work?
Rubil learns the names, acronyms, jargon, and shortcuts you use every day. You add entries by speaking naturally ("Sarah Chen is our design lead, her Slack handle is @sarah.chen") and Rubil automatically categorizes and stores them. When you dictate, it applies your dictionary in real time — correcting transcription errors, inserting @handles on the right platform, expanding acronyms in formal emails but keeping them short in Slack, and preserving exact spelling for brand names and technical terms. The more entries you add, the smarter Rubil gets. Your dictionary is encrypted and stored on your device.
Do I need to train Rubil or set it up?
No. Rubil works out of the box with zero configuration. Install the Chrome extension, click any text field, and start talking. It automatically detects whether you're in Gmail, Slack, Jira, or any other web app, and formats your speech accordingly. You can optionally build a personal dictionary over time to teach it your team's names, acronyms, and jargon, but it's not required. Most users start dictating within 30 seconds of installing.
Does Rubil work in languages other than English?
Yes! Rubil supports 57+ languages through our transcription engine, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and many more. You can dictate in your language and get the same formatting, punctuation, and dictionary features. Your personal dictionary works in any language too.
Is my voice data private and secure?
Absolutely. Rubil is private speech to text software. We never store your voice recordings or transcripts, and your personal dictionary is encrypted on your device. Your data is processed transiently by our AI providers and never used for model training.
What happens if I go over 1,000 words on the free plan?
You can finish your current message, then you're done for the day. Your limit resets at midnight local time.
Can I switch between Free and Pro anytime?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime with one click. No commitment.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If you're not satisfied in your first 30 days, we'll refund you in full.
