AICHE +Scrivener Integration

The short answer: open any Scrivener document, click into the text editor, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows), speak for 45-90 seconds, and AICHE inserts the transcribed prose at your cursor position.

Typing 2,000-word chapters takes 60-90 minutes and creates physical fatigue that limits daily output to 3-4 writing sessions maximum.

1. Open Scrivener and navigate to your chapter or scene.
2. Click into the text editor where you want to write.
3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
4. Speak your prose naturally, including dialogue and descriptions.
5. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes and inserts the formatted text.
6. Edit for style and flow, then continue to the next section.

Heads-up: Scrivener's formatting persists after dictation. Set your font and paragraph style before recording, and transcribed text adopts those settings automatically.

The pro-tip: dictate in 60-90 second chunks per scene beat. This creates natural break points for editing and maintains narrative momentum better than continuous long-form dictation.

Result: a 2,500-word chapter that takes 2 hours of typing becomes 35 minutes of dictation, and you produce 6,000-8,000 words daily without wrist strain.

Do this now: open a Scrivener document, position your cursor at the start of a new scene, press your hotkey, and dictate the opening paragraph.
