How do I dictate notes into a web-based note tool?
Open your note-taking tool or collaborative document, click into the page, and click the VoiceMyThoughts mic icon that appears next to the editor. Speak naturally — your words are inserted into the document with automatic capitalization and punctuation. Useful for meeting notes, journals, and first drafts.
Three ways to use dictation for notes
Meeting notes
While listening to a call, dictate quick summaries between speakers. You stay focused on the conversation instead of typing, and you have a clean draft when the meeting ends.
Daily journal or scratch pad
Open a fresh note in your favorite tool and dictate a 60-second brain dump. The output reads naturally because you spoke it naturally — far closer to your actual voice than typed notes.
Long-form first drafts
Articles, briefs, and project plans are easier to start by speaking. Get the rough shape down by dictating, then edit. Editing existing text is much faster than producing it from scratch.
Premium for meeting-length sessions
The Free plan supports 10-second sessions, which is plenty for short bursts. For continuous dictation during a meeting or long writing block, upgrade to Premium ($5.95/mo) to remove the per-session time limit.
Tips for clean output
- Pause briefly at sentence ends so the engine inserts a period and capitalizes the next word.
- Speak proper nouns deliberately. Names of products and people are the most common correction targets.
- Edit at the end rather than mid-flow — one editing pass beats constant correction.
- Use headings as you go. Say "new heading" out loud as a marker, then add the formatting when editing.
