AICHE +LLogseq Integration
Voice input for outlining
Speak your outlines into Logseq. Build your knowledge base 4x faster.
The short answer: open Logseq, click into any bullet, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your thought for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts polished text into that block.
Outliner-based note-taking requires rapid capture, but keyboard friction slows bullet creation during meetings and research sessions. You lose ideas while typing because the keyboard becomes a bottleneck between thinking and documenting.
- Open Logseq on desktop.
- Navigate to today's Journal or any page.
- Click into a bullet point.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your content naturally (example: "Meeting notes from standup. Discussed Q1 roadmap priorities. Team reached consensus on mobile-first approach for the new feature. Alex owns the design mockups with deadline February 28th. Backend team starts API schema definition next sprint. Blocker: need security review before proceeding with authentication changes").
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Press Enter to create a new bullet, then press your hotkey again for the next point.
Journal Entries vs Page Creation
Journal Workflow (Daily Notes)
Logseq's Journal is where most notes start. Open today's page, create a bullet, and dictate. Your daily thoughts, meeting notes, and fleeting ideas all land here automatically dated.
The advantage: you don't decide where notes go. Everything flows into the Journal, and Logseq's links let you connect ideas later. Press your hotkey, speak for 30 seconds, move on.
Page Creation Workflow
For project notes or concept pages, create a new page (Cmd+K or Ctrl+K), then build the outline with voice. Click into the first bullet, dictate the main point, press Enter, dictate the next bullet.
Example: creating a project brief. First bullet: speak the project goals. Second bullet: dictate technical requirements. Third bullet: outline milestones. Each takes 20-30 seconds of speaking instead of 2-3 minutes of typing.
Outliner Tips for Voice Input
One Thought Per Bullet
Dictate complete thoughts, not fragments. Let AICHE capture 40-50 words per bullet. This keeps your outline meaningful while avoiding wall-of-text blocks.
After dictating, you can break long bullets into nested sub-bullets by selecting portions and pressing Tab.
Create Structure First, Fill Later
For planned content, press Enter multiple times to create empty bullets. This builds the skeleton outline. Then go back to each bullet, press your hotkey, and dictate that section's content.
This separates structural thinking from content generation. You outline while standing at a whiteboard, then sit down and fill bullets with voice.
Use Block References
Logseq's block references ((())) and page links [[]] don't work with voice dictation. After speaking your content, manually add these connections during editing. The transcribed text is the raw material; you add the knowledge graph structure afterward.
Why Developers Choose Logseq + Voice
Logseq is open source, local-first, and markdown-based. The developer community values these principles. Adding voice input means you get the benefits of local data and voice speed simultaneously.
Your notes stay in plain text files you control. AICHE just makes filling those files 4x faster. This matters for developers who refuse to lock their knowledge into proprietary cloud systems.
Result: meeting notes that took 12 minutes to type across 20 bullets now take 3 minutes to dictate, and you capture more detail because speaking during the meeting doesn't pull your attention away.
Do this now: open Logseq's Journal, create a bullet, press your hotkey, and dictate everything you accomplished today. One bullet per item, 30 seconds total.
