Write video scripts by voice

Speak into Zahvox at the pace you would speak on camera. If you speak twice as fast when dictating, the script will feel rushed when you try to read it back.

Read the script aloud before recording. Anywhere you stumble is a place to rewrite. Short sentences read better than long ones. Break paragraphs into three or four lines maximum.

A dictated script means fewer retakes because the words already fit your mouth. Editors also thank you for consistent pacing.

Most people try dictation once, get a messy paragraph, and quietly go back to the keyboard. The trick is to schedule it. Block two short windows a week where write video scripts by voice is the only way you are allowed to draft. Speak fast, do not correct while talking, and let the transcript be ugly on purpose. Then spend five minutes cleaning it up. After three or four weeks the ugly first pass gets noticeably tighter, and your typed drafts start to sound more like your spoken voice too — which is usually the voice readers actually want.

Zahvox is the second pass, not the first. The browser, the OS, or the app you dictated into 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. That two-tool loop — raw capture anywhere, careful edit in Zahvox — is the whole workflow, and it stays the same whether the source was a laptop, a phone, or a meeting transcript.
