Voice Dictation Built for Writers
Draft outlines, scenes, paragraphs, and revision notes by voice in Scrivener, Google Docs, Notion, or another focused writing field. Optional polishing can restructure the transcript before you edit it.

How Writers Use It
Real workflows from real authors
Draft Blog Posts by Voice
Speak an outline or first draft, then review structure, sources, links, and wording before publication.
Draft Book Chapters
Dictate scenes or paragraphs in shorter sections so corrections and revisions stay manageable.
Capture Ideas Before They Fade
Use the hotkey to place a rough idea in your notes app, then return to develop and verify it.
Reduce Writing Fatigue
Alternate between typing and dictation to avoid wrist strain during long writing sessions.
How It Works
A four-step draft and review workflow
Press Hotkey
Start recording with the global hotkey after focusing a field in Scrivener, Google Docs, Notion, or another tested editor.
Speak Your Draft
Dictate a manageable section with the names, terms, and punctuation cues you expect to review.
Optional Polish
Your selected LLM can apply the prompt you configured; compare its output with the raw transcript.
Text Appears
The polished draft appears right where your cursor is — ready for your edits.
Writer-Friendly Features
Tested writing-app workflow
Focus an editable field in Scrivener, Google Docs, Notion, or your editor, then verify hotkey, insertion, formatting, and undo behavior.
Reviewable AI polishing
Use a narrowly scoped prompt and compare the LLM output with the raw transcript before accepting stylistic changes.
Language routes for multilingual writers
Choose from the available language options, then test your accent, vocabulary, punctuation, and selected STT provider.
Custom dictionary for character names and terms
Add character names, place names, and invented words, then test recognition with representative passages before a long session.
Offline mode for distraction-free writing
Rehearse the full drafting workflow without a connection: your Custom Whisper-compatible STT host must handle audio, and a separate Ollama LLM host can polish the transcript. Confirm that models are installed and neither step calls an external dependency.
