A DRAFT STARTS WITH SPEECH
What is cloud voice-to-text?
Cloud voice-to-text converts spoken audio into written text using an online service. With Sonicribe, you can keep a direct transcript, polish the wording, or apply your own formatting instructions.
You don’t need a finished sentence to begin. Say the useful details first, then choose how to shape them. Audio processing requires an internet connection.
WHAT TO SAY
“An idea for the onboarding guide: start with the first recording, then show where to review the text. Explain how minutes work before asking people to choose a plan.”
FORMATTING INSTRUCTION
Make a short outline. Keep this order. Don’t add new steps.
Clear facts and a specific instruction give you a useful checklist when reviewing the result.
Six ways to start with your voice
For the work in front of you.
From a development prompt to a quick reply. Explore a concrete example of how each workflow could fit your day.
For developers
Turn a spoken implementation thought into a clearer development prompt, then review it before you use it.
Explore the workflowEmails & replies
Speak the message you mean, shape it into a readable draft, and check it before sending.
Explore the workflowWriting & drafts
Move from a spoken thought to an editable draft without making the first sentence perfect.
Explore the workflowIdeas & notes
Speak an unfinished idea and organize it into a note you can return to.
Explore the workflowCustom formatting
Give recurring notes a consistent shape with your own formatting instructions.
Explore the workflowTranscription history
Search previous transcriptions, find the wording you need, and copy it back into your work.

A personal estimate, not a time-saving guarantee. Include processing waits, switching tasks, and other voice-workflow overhead in extra editing time. Review time shared by both methods is excluded.
See the calculation and assumptions
(Daily words ÷ typing speed − daily words ÷ speaking speed − extra editing minutes) × writing days per week. Assumes the same amount of content in each workflow. Use a consistent word-count unit. Language, task, and speaking style affect your result.
A SHIFT IN HOW PEOPLE WORK
Why people are talking to their tools.
Public perspectives on voice input. These are not Sonicribe testimonials or endorsements, and do not imply an affiliation.

More control over what comes next.
Shape the result you need. Keep useful work within reach.
Speak your next coding prompt
Shape spoken requirements into a structured coding prompt, with language and detail settings.
Find it. Copy it. Use it again.
Search your transcription history and copy a previous result when you need it.
CHOOSE THE RESULT YOU NEED
Same thought. Three useful forms.
Sometimes you need the wording. Sometimes you need a finished sentence or a clear list. Here’s one spoken update, shaped three ways.
Direct transcript
When you want to start with your spoken wording and edit it yourself.
- DIRECTION
- Turn the speech into text
- ILLUSTRATIVE RESULT
- Okay, the first draft is ready. Um, Maya will review it Thursday. Send the final version Friday.
Polished prose
When you want readable sentences for an email or a longer draft.
- DIRECTION
- Shape it into readable sentences
- ILLUSTRATIVE RESULT
- The first draft is ready. Maya will review it on Thursday. Please send the final version on Friday.
Custom formatting
When you need a repeatable structure, like a status update or a list.
- DIRECTION
- Use Status, Review, and Send headings. Don’t add facts.
- ILLUSTRATIVE RESULT
- Status: First draft ready Review: Maya · Thursday Send: Final version · Friday
These are illustrative examples, not recorded processing results. Output varies with your input and settings. Check names, dates, and intended meaning before using a draft.
A LITTLE CHARACTER IN YOUR WORKFLOW
Your voice has a little company.
Meet Mochi and Luna, Sonicribe’s existing recording characters. A little movement brings personality to the recording experience.
Make the recording preview your own: choose a character, window size, position, and simulated voice level. No microphone access or changes to your actual app.
Recording character · Simulation
A web simulation of existing character designs. The Cloud app for Apple Silicon Macs is available on the download page.
MAKE IT PART OF YOUR WORK
A few useful places to start.
Practical examples and review habits you can adapt to your next writing task.
Speak, shape, review
Follow a short email from spoken facts to a draft you can review.
Dictate clearer coding requests
Explain the goal, behavior, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
Build a useful formatting instruction
Adapt patterns for status updates, email replies, and idea outlines.
Plans
A little dictation. Or a daily habit.
Every feature requires internet access and a verified Google account. The Cloud app is available for Apple Silicon Macs, with Windows support to follow. Reviewing a plan does not start a subscription.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you begin.
A little clarity on how it works and what’s coming.
Can I download the new app now?
The separate Cloud app is available for Apple Silicon (ARM64) Macs. A Cloud installer for Windows is not available yet. Check the download page for file details.
Do I need Google and an internet connection?
Yes. The new product is cloud-only. Every app feature requires a verified Google account, and audio processing needs an internet connection.
What are credits?
Speech uses credits at the rate of the model you select, and AI cleanup also uses credits from the same balance. Signing in does not add credits. Sign in to review trial eligibility and your account status.
Is the example a real recording?
No. It illustrates the difference between spoken input and a structured draft. This page does not use your microphone or process audio. Actual results depend on your input and should be reviewed before use.
What if I already have Sonicribe installed?
Your existing installed app stays as it is. This is a separate cloud product, and this launch does not push an update to existing installations.
