Write a talk or keynote by voice
3 min read
A talk is the one thing you should never write in a voice that isn't yours, because you have to say it out loud. A Talk / Keynote project lets you draft by speaking, so the script already sounds like you the moment it's written.
Start a Talk / Keynote project
Create a project and choose Talk / Keynote. Outline it as the beats of your talk: the hook, the turns, the story in the middle, the close you want people to remember.
Draft it the way you'll say it
Talk each beat as if you were on stage. MakeVox captures it as a script that keeps your cadence, so you're rehearsing and drafting in the same breath.
Hear it and time it
Use Listen to hear your talk read back, and the reading-time estimate to keep it inside your slot. It's much easier to cut two minutes when you can hear where the talk sags.
Tip. Write the last line first. Say the sentence you want to land on, then build the talk toward it.

Getting started: speak your first chapter
Open MakeVox, hit record, and talk. Your AI editor shapes the rough dictation into clean prose, and your outline grows as you go.
Listen-Back: hear what your eyes skip
Have MakeVox read your draft aloud. Your ears catch the clunky lines, repeated words, and awkward rhythm your eyes glide right past.
Your AI assistance dial: Shape, Co-write, Direct
One dial sets how much the AI does, from polishing your own words to drafting from a brief. Shape is the default, and you can change it per story.
