Voice-to-text for media production

Down from a 2-3 day lag on most solo shows.
Speak the arc while the research is fresh.
Warmer briefs mean better on-tape performance.
Free forever tier. No per-episode fees.

Three workflows that pay back this week
After a research session, dictate the arc of the episode: hook, three main threads, close. Turn into a question list before recording.
After recording, dictate the three sharpest quotes, three takeaways and a hook. Paste into your CMS. Publish same day as the audio.
Dictate the format, three question themes, and any topics to avoid. Send before the recording. Cuts pre-call briefings in half.
Say this, get that
Real prompts you can speak into the tool right now, and the kind of cleaned draft you get back.
"Show notes for episode 47 with Sarah Chen on building a design agency from freelance. Three sharpest quotes: pricing changes at year three, hiring your first designer, how to say no to bad-fit clients. Three takeaways and one CTA to the newsletter."
Publish-ready show notes with hook, quotes, takeaways, timestamps placeholder and CTA. Ready for your CMS.
"Eight-minute YouTube video on why most creator channels stall at 1000 subscribers. Structure: hook, three reasons channels stall, three ways to break through, real example, close with a subscribe ask."
A scene-by-scene outline with hook, body beats and CTA. Ready to expand or shoot from.
Where media production lose time
- Show notes ship days after the episode
- Guests arrive underbriefed
- Season plans stay in a founder's head
- Promo copy gets rushed at publish time
