Write poetry by voice
3 min read
Poems arrive as sound before they're ever text, a line in the shower, a phrase on a walk. A Poetry project is built to catch them the instant they come and hold them in your voice, with the lightest possible hand from the editor.
Start a Poetry project
Create a project and choose Poetry. Keep poems as their own pieces, and speak a line, a stanza, or a whole draft as it comes to you.
Keep the assist out of the way
Poetry is the last place you want a rewrite. Keep the dial on Shape (or lighter) so MakeVox only tidies obvious dictation slips and leaves your line breaks, word choices, and rhythm alone. The "% your voice" badge will read close to all you.
Hear it aloud
A poem is finished by ear. Use Listen to hear a piece read back, and adjust the lines until the sound is right.
Tip. Don't polish while drafting. Capture everything first, even the throwaway lines, then come back and cut. It's easier to carve than to summon.

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.
Your words, scored: Voice-Fidelity and the Provenance X-ray
See how much of any passage is genuinely yours. The Voice-Fidelity meter scores it, the Provenance X-ray shows it line by line, and a toggle keeps it your words only.
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.
