Notepad Integration

The short answer: open Notepad, position cursor in the document, press Ctrl+Alt+R, speak for 20-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts plain text ready to save.

Typing quick notes, meeting summaries, or temporary text snippets creates unnecessary friction when you need to capture thoughts quickly before they vanish.

1. Open Notepad on your Windows system (Win+R, type "notepad", press Enter).
2. Click into the text area.
3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
4. Speak your content naturally (example: "meeting notes from standup January 13, discussed API migration timeline backend team needs 3 more days for testing, frontend team can proceed with mock data during backend work, deployment scheduled for Friday 4pm after QA signoff, blockers include database schema conflict in staging environment being resolved by ops team, action items update swagger documentation after API changes, schedule integration testing session for Thursday morning, send deployment checklist to stakeholders by end of day").
5. Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes and inserts the plain text.
6. Save the file (Ctrl+S).

Heads-up: Notepad only supports plain text without formatting. AICHE inserts clean text without bold, italics, or special characters beyond standard punctuation, making Notepad perfect for simple note-taking without formatting distractions.

The pro-tip: use Notepad with AICHE for capturing temporary debugging notes during troubleshooting sessions. Speak your observations about error messages, stack traces, and attempted fixes. The plain text remains easily searchable and copyable into bug reports.

Result: capturing meeting notes or debugging observations that takes 10 minutes of typing becomes 3 minutes of dictation, and Notepad's simplicity keeps focus on content rather than formatting.

Do this now: open Notepad, press your hotkey, and dictate one quick note you need to remember - a debugging observation, meeting action item, or code idea you don't want to forget.
