Why plan voice notes?

Unplanned voice notes tend to ramble. By outlining your topics and estimating time per section, you stay focused and respect your audience's time. A well-structured 2-minute voice message is more effective than a meandering 10-minute one.

Ideal voice message lengths

Quick updates: 30–60 seconds. Detailed explanations: 2–3 minutes. Status reports or stand-ups: 1–2 minutes per person. If your note exceeds 5 minutes, consider breaking it into multiple messages or switching to a document.

Record and transcribe

With LexaWrite, you can record your voice note and instantly get a written transcription. Useful for turning spoken ideas into written notes, emails, or documentation. All transcription happens locally using on-device AI - nothing leaves your Mac.
