Who this guide is for
You run a small or mid-size marketing, creative, dev, or consulting agency. You are in five conversations a day, and the writing that comes out of those conversations often waits until the evening. This guide is for owners who want to move that writing back into the workday.
What you usually write
Client briefs and kick-off notes
Internal Slack updates for the team
Follow-up emails after client calls
Campaign ideas and rough concepts
Project status updates for retainers
Sales notes from discovery calls
Common bottlenecks
Client calls end and the recap never gets written
Team keeps asking for a brief that lives in your head
Ideas from the shower and the commute never reach the doc
Typing a proposal feels heavier than the actual thinking
Follow-ups pile up until Friday night
How to use Zahvox today
The workflow is short. It fits between two meetings, or between two browser tabs. You are not learning software; you are changing the order of two habits.
Step-by-step workflow
Open /tool in Chrome or Edge right after a client call.
Allow the microphone once for this browser.
Speak the recap as if you were telling your account lead the story.
Watch the live transcript so you can catch names and numbers as you go.
Paste into your CRM, Notion, Slack, or the email you were going to write.
Example: Client kick-off brief
Speak the client goal, the audience, the constraints, and the first idea in one pass. Edit the transcript into four short sections. Paste into the shared doc so the team is not blocked.
Example: Discovery call recap
Right after the call, dictate the buyer's real problem, budget signal, and next step. Paste into your CRM in ninety seconds instead of thirty minutes.
Example: Retainer status update
Speak what shipped, what is next, and the one blocker. Paste into the weekly client email. Owners say this alone saves an evening.
Example: Campaign concept memo
Dictate the rough concept the way you would pitch it. Edit for punch. Send to your strategist before you lose the thread.
Common mistakes
Trying to sound polished in the first pass — speak rough, then edit.
Skipping the edit step and pasting raw dictation into a client email.
Waiting for a native macOS agency app that is not shipped yet; the browser tool works today.
Assuming Zahvox saves your recap; nothing is stored between tabs today.
Running voice in a browser that does not support live transcription; use Chrome or Edge on desktop for the smoothest run.
Useful Zahvox tools

Where Zahvox is going
AI cleanup, a browser extension, text injection, saved history, personas, writing modes, a desktop app, and a mobile app are on the roadmap. Nothing here promises any of those are shipped. What ships today is the free web tool and the free writing utilities.
