Write a whole book with speech-to-text
Why not? In the past, writing a whole book with speech-to-text software for writers was cumbersome. Misspelled words, annoying punctuation and formatting, lackluster speed…
But recent advancements in speech-to-text technology have introduced new models that are far faster and more accurate. Voicy was made for people who want more accurate, automatically formatted, and faster transcriptions for their books, novels, essays, etc.
How to write a book with dictation software
1. Outline first. Jot down your chapters and the key beats of each scene so you always know what you're about to say.
2. Dictate a scene a day. Open your manuscript in Scrivener, Google Docs or Word, press your Voicy shortcut and talk through one scene at a time.
3. Don't edit while you speak. Keep talking even when a sentence comes out rough; stopping to fix words breaks your flow.
4. Clean up with AI commands. Ask Voicy to fix grammar, tighten a paragraph or rephrase a clunky line before you move on.
5. Revise on the keyboard. Once the draft is down, switch to typing for the detailed line edits and structural changes.
