Project types
Write your memoir by voice
4 min read
Everyone has a memoir in them and almost no one types it. But you can tell it. A Memoir project is built for people who'd rather talk than write: you speak your memories the way you'd tell them to a friend, and MakeVox shapes them into prose that still sounds like you.
Start a Memoir project
Create a project and choose Memoir (autobiography). Instead of chapters of invention, you're organizing chapters of your life, so structure them by era, by theme, or just by the stories you can't stop telling.
Just tell the story
Open a chapter and talk, the trip, the argument, the day everything changed. Say it messily, out of order, with the tangents. MakeVox keeps your voice and turns the telling into readable prose you can tidy later.
Keep it in your voice
Memoir lives or dies on voice, so keep the assist light. On the Shape setting the editor cleans up the dictation without rewriting you, and the "% your voice" badge shows how much of the page is genuinely yours.
Tip. Memories arrive when they arrive. Use Drive Mode to capture a story hands-free on a walk or a drive, and file it into the right chapter afterward.

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.
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.
