Create Markdown Docs in Obsidian

The short answer: install the AICHE Voice Obsidian plugin, sign in, open a note, click the mic, dictate one section at a time, and let AICHE insert cleaned text into your active note.

Obsidian is good at structure. Voice is good at first drafts. The best workflow is to let Obsidian hold the outline and let AICHE fill sections quickly.

Setup

1. Open Obsidian Settings.
2. Go to Community Plugins and browse for AICHE Voice.
3. Install and enable the plugin.
4. Go to Settings > AICHE Voice.
5. Sign in through the browser connection flow.
6. Choose your microphone.
7. Decide whether text should insert at the cursor or append to the note.
8. Choose a default Voice Notes folder if you want new notes created automatically.

The plugin works on Obsidian desktop and mobile. Text appears after recording stops, not as a live transcript.

Dictate Markdown-Friendly Structure

AICHE inserts cleaned text, not magic Markdown architecture. You get better docs when you speak structure explicitly:

• "Heading: Problem"
• "Three bullet points"
• "First, second, third"
• "Next section: implementation notes"
• "Code term: auth-gateway"

After insertion, do a Markdown pass: convert spoken headings to ##, turn lists into bullets, add links, and clean code formatting.

Best Workflow

1. Write a short outline in the note first.
2. Put your cursor under the first heading.
3. Click the AICHE mic.
4. Dictate only that section.
5. Stop and let text insert.
6. Move to the next heading.
7. Repeat until the document exists.
8. Do a final Markdown formatting pass.

This is faster than dictating one long note and trying to restructure it afterward.

Useful Plugin Settings

• Insert at cursor: best for structured docs.
• Append to end: best for ongoing journals or capture logs.
• Voice notes folder: useful when no note is open.
• Organize by category: useful for separating Work, Life, Ideas, and Misc notes.
• Attach audio: useful when you want the original recording embedded for reference.

Do This Now

Create a note with three headings: Problem, Decision, Next Steps. Put your cursor under Problem and dictate a 30-second explanation. Repeat for each heading, then format the result as Markdown.
