For Writers

Capture Every Idea at the Speed of Thought

Stop losing sentences while your fingers catch up. Write your first draft in half the time. Dictation built for the creative process.

The Writer's Dilemma: Thinking vs Typing

Your mind moves faster than your fingers ever could.

Typing can't keep up with your thoughts

By the time you finish typing one sentence, you've forgotten the next three ideas.

Ideas fade while you hunt for keys

Keyboard shortcuts, tab switching, reaching for the mouse—it all breaks your creative flow.

Writer's block and the inner critic

Typing makes you edit as you write. Speaking helps you draft freely without judgment.

RSI and typing fatigue are real

Wrist pain, shoulder tension, and repetitive strain don't go away. Voice offers relief.

How Voice Dictation Changes Your Writing

Professional writers have used dictation for decades. Now it's free, accurate, and works offline.

First Drafts in Half the Time

Speak naturally and transcription keeps pace. Your first draft becomes real in one session instead of three.

Capture Ideas Anywhere

Walking, thinking in bed, in a coffee shop. Your phone's microphone is always ready. Ideas don't fade anymore.

Beat Writer's Block

Speaking bypasses the internal editor. You just talk—no second-guessing, no perfectionism slowing you down.

Tips for Writers Using Voice Dictation

A few practices make dictation even more powerful.

1

Speak Your Punctuation

Say 'period', 'comma', 'question mark', 'exclamation point' when you need them. Or edit in a second pass.

2

Keep Sessions Short (15-20 min)

Your voice gets tired. Dictate in focused bursts, then switch to editing or reading.

3

Edit in a Separate Pass

First pass: dictate everything. Second pass: edit. Separating drafting from editing accelerates both.

4

Read Your Dialogue Aloud

Before you dictate, read the character's line. Then speak it naturally into the mic.

5

Minimize Ambient Noise

Quiet room = better accuracy. If you're noisy, Whisper Cheap has VAD (voice detection) to ignore background sound.

Questions Writers Ask

Will it understand my accent?
Whisper Cheap is trained on 99 languages and accents. It's very tolerant. Test with a short dictation to see how it performs with your voice.
Can I dictate directly into Scrivener, Word, or Google Docs?
Yes. Press your hotkey (Ctrl+Space), dictate, and release. The text pastes wherever your cursor is—Word, Scrivener, Google Docs, Notion, anywhere.
How do I handle punctuation?
Say the punctuation word ('period', 'comma', 'dash') or add it in your edit pass. Many writers skip it during dictation and clean up later.
Do I need to edit everything?
Accuracy is very high, but yes—expect a light edit pass. Whisper Cheap isn't perfect, but it's fast enough that total time is still much less than typing.
Can I use it for different genres?
Absolutely. Literary fiction, romance, sci-fi, nonfiction, screenplays—your voice works in all of them. Dialogue especially benefits from spoken delivery.
What if there's too much background noise?
Whisper Cheap includes voice detection (VAD). Turn it on to ignore silence and background noise. Works best in quiet environments.
