Gmail “Reply by Chat” feature

Google is on the verge to roll out a Gmail feature called “Reply by Chat”. Instead of text replying to an email, you can do it with your voice. The feature does also group your chat history in the same conversation as the message you’re chatting about.

Replying by chat, of course, works only if your email sender is online. That’s a bummer though, as users might like to leave a voicemail by this way.

But we bet you that some days, Gmail will be able to automatically convert speech-to-text so that you will never drop your mouse to use your keyboard again.
