Drop files onto the task buttonBeta
Start dragging any files or folders on your Mac and a + joins Speechy's task buttons on the right edge of the screen. Drop them on it and Speechy offers jobs that fit what they are, like Convert to MP3, Make one PDF or Tidy into folders, or you can type anything else. It runs as a background task, and dropping doesn't move your files.

Folders, pictures, audio, video, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, slides, archives, code, or a mix. Each gets its own offers.
Yes. Type in the box on the card, or dictate into it, since it already has focus.
