Batch A Week Of Posts By Voice

Short answer: open Buffer in a desktop browser, click the Create Post composer (or Ideas or Engagement reply field), press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak the caption, press the hotkey again. AICHE inserts text. You pick channels, tweak per-network customizations, and schedule in Buffer.

The Problem

Buffer's Create Post flow is built for one draft, many networks: LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, Mastodon, and others. Channel toggles and scheduling are fast. Captions are slow. Ideas stays empty because jotting a half-formed hook feels like work. Engagement replies pile up because typing a thoughtful reply mid-timeline review breaks focus.

This is the same bottleneck as other social schedulers: distribution is productized; writing is not. AICHE targets Buffer-in-the-browser on desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux). AICHE also offers mobile and other surfaces (Every Platform); this page is the desktop hotkey path.

AICHE does not post, approve, or run Buffer AI Assistant for you. It fills whichever text field has focus.

How It Works

1. Open Buffer in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari on desktop.
2. Click into Create Post body, an Ideas card, an Engagement reply, or Start Page text.
3. Press ⌃+⌥+R or Ctrl+Alt+R once to start (toggle, not push-to-talk).
4. Speak the post: hook, proof point, CTA, hashtags you want spelled out.
5. Press the hotkey again. AICHE transcribes, optional Message Ready cleanup, inserts at cursor. Audio is streamed for cloud transcription, processed, and discarded immediately after processing, within 1 second. No persistent audio copy.
6. Enable per-channel customization, trim for X character limits, Add to Queue or publish.

Create Post and Per-Channel Customization

1. Select LinkedIn + X.
2. Hotkey the LinkedIn-length version (30-40 seconds).
3. Click X customization field, hotkey a shorter hook (10-15 seconds).
4. Check character count, queue both.

Speaking switches register (professional vs punchy) faster than retyping tone.

Ideas and Engagement

Ideas: capture titles and angles in ten seconds when inspiration hits. Promote to Create Post later without facing a blank composer.

Engagement: click reply on a mention, hotkey a complete answer with empathy and next step. You still click Send in Buffer.

Publish Queue Batches

Block 45 minutes. Dictate post 1 → Add to Queue → new composer → post 2. Separate speak and edit passes beat typing-and-editing simultaneously. Fifteen posts at ~25 seconds speech each is roughly six minutes of talking plus one editing pass.

FAQ

Native Buffer app vs browser?
Desktop browser is the recommended path for the global hotkey. Native app works if the field accepts OS text input.

Does AICHE schedule posts?
No.

What happens to audio?
Audio is streamed for cloud transcription, processed, and discarded immediately after processing, within 1 second. No persistent audio copy.

Try it now: open Create Post, dictate tomorrow's LinkedIn update, then dictate a shorter X variant in the customization field.
