Use voice dictation in Figma to leave design feedback, content edits, and prototype notes faster
Figma collaboration slows down when design feedback lives in half-finished comments or gets deferred until later. Voice dictation helps teams leave sharper Figma feedback, UX copy ideas, and review notes while looking at the design.
The best dictation workflow is not a blank transcript box. It is voice input in the app where the work already happens. Dictate the rough version while your thought is fresh, let AI cleanup handle punctuation and structure, and keep chat replies concise while email stays polished. For sensitive text, local mode runs on your device.

Where typing slows down Figma
These are the moments where speaking the first draft tends to beat typing from scratch.
- Design reviews stall when reviewers avoid typing detailed feedback on flows, hierarchy, or interaction issues.
- Microcopy decisions get buried because it is faster to discuss them verbally than write them into Figma.
- Prototype reviews lose context when designers and PMs wait too long to document what they noticed.
Example prompts to dictate in Figma
- "Comment that the mobile checkout footer needs more contrast and the CTA label should say Place order securely."
- "Suggest replacing this empty-state copy with a clearer onboarding message that explains the first next step."
- "Add a handoff note that the filter drawer should preserve selected options when the user closes and reopens it."
