Hands-Free: write with your eyes off the screen
3 min read
Some of your best lines show up when you cannot look at a screen. A drive, a walk, the sink full of dishes. Hands-Free is built for exactly those moments. You tap start once, and from then on everything happens by voice. You keep your eyes and hands where they belong, and your story keeps growing.
How it works
Start a session and just talk. Speak naturally and Hands-Free captures what you say into your story. It reads confirmations back to you out loud, so you always know it heard you without glancing down. Hands-Free is strongest on iOS, where it can run the whole session without touching the phone.
The commands you need
- Say "new scene" to close off the current beat and start a fresh one.
- Say "editor" to talk something through with the AI editor mid-session, then keep going.
- Say "stop" (or tap) when you are done.
What you say to the editor isn't saved as a conversation; when the session ends MakeVox keeps a short note about your story so the editor can pick up the thread. If you ever tell the editor, speaking as yourself, that you might hurt yourself, it steps out of the story and reads you free crisis lines: in the US, call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741; anywhere else, findahelpline.com.
Tip. Do not worry about a weak signal. Hands-Free holds onto everything you say and syncs it back to your story, so a dropped connection never costs you a beat.
