Speak naturally
Record the messy version: a walk-and-talk plan, meeting recap, project dump, or founder note without formatting it first.
Voice notes to tasks
Turn voice dumps into action docs you can ship from.
SpeechToDo helps founders and operators convert messy captured speech into editable task lists, decisions, follow-ups, and markdown action docs that live in the workspace they already use.

# Tuesday founder voice dump ## Summary The beta setup flow needs clearer next steps. ## Decisions - Keep setup calls founder-led this week. - Add one real workspace example to the onboarding note. ## Tasks - Draft the setup checklist. - Invite two operators from the waitlist. - Review CTA clicks after the next deploy.
The hard part is not capture. It is follow-through.
Voice notes often contain the work before it has structure: loose commitments, unresolved decisions, and half-formed next actions.
Extract the work
SpeechToDo turns the recording into transcript, summary, decisions, and candidate action items for review.
Edit before acting
The output is markdown, so you can correct context, delete noise, and move only the real tasks into your operating system.
From voice note to action list.
The output should be useful even before it reaches a task manager. These examples show the kind of artifact the beta is designed to produce.
Raw capture
I need to follow up with Maya about the onboarding screen, but not before I rewrite the setup note. Also the pricing page still says "private" too broadly. Check that after the deploy. Maybe ask Dan whether the iCloud workflow is the right first tutorial. Oh, and the support email needs the real workspace screenshot before I send it.
Action doc
# Product voice dump ## Source - Audio: 2026-05-31-product-walk.m4a - Status: needs review before tasks move out ## Decisions - Rewrite setup note before the next onboarding call. - Review privacy wording before publishing new SEO pages. ## Open questions - Should the iCloud workflow be the first public tutorial? - Which screenshot best explains the watched workspace? ## Tasks - [ ] Rewrite the setup note. - [ ] Check pricing and homepage copy after deploy. - [ ] Add the workspace screenshot to the support email. - [ ] Follow up with Maya after setup note is updated. - [ ] Ask Dan whether iCloud should be the first tutorial.
Review first, then move the work.
SpeechToDo should create a useful action document, not silently push unreviewed tasks into another system.
Keep the source attached
The action doc keeps the audio filename and transcript context visible so you can check what was actually said.
Separate work types
Decisions, open questions, and candidate tasks are split before anything is copied into a task manager or project doc.
Promote only reviewed tasks
Move the checked items into Linear, Notion, GitHub issues, Apple Reminders, or your own markdown operating system.
Built for operator task dumps.
This page is for the moment when a voice note contains work that should not stay trapped in audio or a raw transcript.
- ✓ You record task dumps while walking, commuting, or closing out calls.
- ✓ You need decisions separated from follow-ups and open questions.
- ✓ You want markdown you can edit before copying tasks into another system.
- ✓ You prefer file-native outputs over a task inbox owned by another app.
What the beta does, and does not do.
