Who this guide is for
This guide is for professionals whose first language is not English but who write in English at work. It is a rough-drafting workflow, not a grammar guarantee.
What you usually write
Emails to English-speaking clients
Slack and Teams messages
Meeting notes in English
LinkedIn posts and short-form writing
First drafts of longer documents
Practice writing for language improvement
Common bottlenecks
Typing in English is slower than typing in your first language
You second-guess word choice before finishing a sentence
You avoid writing long messages and send short unclear ones instead
Grammar anxiety kills momentum before the draft exists
You spend more time editing than drafting
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.
Set the browser and site language to English.
Speak the message in the way you would explain it to a colleague, even if grammar is imperfect.
Read the transcript. Fix the parts that clearly do not match what you meant.
For anything important, run the cleaned text through a separate grammar tool before sending.
Copy or download the final text.
Example: Client email
Dictate the message. Edit for accuracy. Run through a grammar checker if the audience is formal.
Example: Meeting recap
Dictate the recap in English as you remember it. Edit for names and dates.
Example: LinkedIn post
Speak the story naturally. Edit for the hook and the takeaway.
Example: Writing practice
Dictate a paragraph a day about your work. Compare the transcript to how you would write it. Learn the gap.
Common mistakes
Assuming Zahvox corrects grammar; it does not.
Assuming Zahvox translates; it does not.
Dictating in your first language then expecting an English output; set the language you are speaking.
Sending a raw transcript without an edit pass to a formal audience.
Honest positioning
Zahvox transcribes what you speak. It does not fix grammar, does not translate, and does not judge accents. Browser speech recognition supports many languages, including regional English accents. If you need grammar correction, use a dedicated grammar tool after the transcript.

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.
