Tips for better ClickUp Talk to Text results
To improve accuracy and clarity when using Talk to Text in the ClickUp Brain MAX extension, use these best practices:

When you are finished speaking, you can easily stop Talk to Text in the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension:
- Click the microphone icon again to end the recording.
- Wait a moment for the assistant to finalize the transcription.
- Review the generated text in the Brain MAX panel.
At this stage, you can edit, copy, or send the content into your workspace tools as needed.
Use ClickUp Talk to Text outputs
Once Talk to Text has created your content, you can use it across different tools and workflows. Here are several common actions:
Create tasks from ClickUp Talk to Text
You can turn your spoken notes into actionable tasks directly from the Brain MAX panel:

- Open the resulting doc in your workspace to refine formatting and structure.
This approach is helpful for meeting notes, project briefs, or content drafts created from spoken input.
