AICHE +Ulysses Integration
Voice input for focused writing
Speak your writing directly into Ulysses.
The short answer: open any Ulysses sheet, click into the editor, press ⌃+⌥+R, speak for 45-60 seconds, and AICHE inserts the transcribed text at your cursor position in clean markdown format.
Typing 1,500-word articles in Ulysses takes 45-60 minutes and creates context-switching friction between thinking about ideas and executing keystrokes.
- Open Ulysses and navigate to your sheet.
- Click into the editor where you want to write.
- Press ⌃+⌥+R to start recording.
- Speak your content naturally, including any narrative flow or arguments.
- Press ⌃+⌥+R again-AICHE transcribes and inserts plain text.
- Add markdown formatting (headers, links, emphasis) manually after dictation.
Heads-up: AICHE inserts plain text without markdown syntax. After dictating, add # for headers, ** for bold, or [] for links using Ulysses keyboard shortcuts.
The pro-tip: dictate full paragraphs or sections without stopping. Ulysses' distraction-free mode combined with voice input creates pure flow state for content creation.
Result: a 2,000-word article that takes 75 minutes of typing becomes 25 minutes of dictation plus 15 minutes of markdown formatting, and you finish pieces in single sessions.
Do this now: create a new Ulysses sheet, press ⌃+⌥+R, and dictate the introduction to your next article without thinking about formatting.
