Craft leans on Apple dictation, which works in every block, title, and note across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Craft is built for calm long form writing, so voice input fits naturally. The block structure also makes cleanup easier because you can edit one thought at a time.

Turn on dictation

On Mac press Fn twice inside a block.
On iPad or iPhone tap the microphone on the keyboard.
Use focus mode so only one block is visible while you speak.
Break long thoughts into new blocks with the return key.

Blocks help cleanup

Each block is its own edit surface. Dictate one idea per block, then move blocks around during edit. That is faster than editing a wall of text.

Draft in Zahvox for public copy

For anything shared with clients or published to a public page, dictate the raw thought in Zahvox, tighten the wording, then paste it back. That extra pass keeps the tone steady and removes filler.

Small habits that keep it readable

Say punctuation out loud, including commas and periods.
Keep one thought per sentence so cleanup is fast.
Do a short review pass at the end of every session.
Save common phrases in a snippet tool so voice input can call them.

Make the setup boring on purpose

The best voice workflows are the ones you stop noticing. Once dictate long form docs in craft works, resist the urge to keep tweaking it. Same mic, same shortcut, same place the transcript lands. Boring is the goal. When the mechanics fade into the background, your attention goes back to the actual thinking, which is the only reason you started dictating in the first place.

Where Zahvox fits after the raw capture

Zahvox is the careful second pass that sits after the raw capture. The browser, the OS, or the app you used for dictate long form docs in craft gave you words on a page. Zahvox at /tool is where you paste those words, tighten the wording, fix the shape of the sentences, and copy the result back into wherever it needs to live. Raw capture anywhere, careful edit in Zahvox — that is the whole loop, and it stays the same whether the source was a laptop, a phone, or a meeting transcript.
