The problem
You get ideas all day long: in the car, between meetings, while walking. By the time you try to write them down, half of them are gone. Raw dictation is rarely usable as-is.
Based on internal usage at devlo, typing a structured prompt for an LLM takes roughly five times longer than dictating it. The issue is not the dictation itself. The issue is that raw transcription is just a wall of text with no structure, no action items, and no clear intent.
How do you turn dictation into actionable content?
Dictation-Clean combines two tools to turn raw voice into structured output in under a minute: a real-time transcription layer and an AI clean-up skill.
Wispr Flow
Captures your voice in any app, in any language, and runs quietly in the background.
Claude Code + /dc skill
Reads the raw transcript, identifies the intent, and restructures the output into headings, actions, and next steps.
Before / After
The difference is immediate. A 3-minute dictation becomes a structured document ready to use.
Raw dictation
"What I mean is that we should probably look at buying signals because companies hiring sales reps right now are probably the ones that need us, and we could scrape LinkedIn for that..."
After /dc
Buying signal: sales hiring as a purchase indicator
Companies actively hiring salespeople often signal unsatisfied pipeline demand, which makes that a strong indicator for outbound services.
Next steps:
- Scrape LinkedIn Jobs for sales roles in Switzerland
- Cross-reference with the existing ICP list
- Test an outreach sequence on the top 20 matches
Step-by-step setup — 10 minutes
Here is how to set up Dictation-Clean from scratch. Everything is free or already included in tools you are likely using.
Install Wispr Flow
Download Wispr Flow. It runs in the background and transcribes whatever you dictate in any application.
Set up the /dc skill in Claude Code
Add the /dc skill so Claude Code can read your raw transcript and reshape it around your intent.
Dictate your ideas
Speak naturally. Explain your reasoning, describe a process, dump your thoughts. Disorder at this stage is expected.
Run the skill
The skill analyses the transcript, recognises the intended output, and turns it into usable content.
Review and publish
You end up with a clean document that is ready to edit, share, or publish.
What I use it for
Over the last three months, most content that used to start with "sit down and write" now starts with "dictate first, then review".
LinkedIn posts
Dictate the idea, get a structured draft
Meeting debriefs
Talk through key points, get action items
Client briefs
Describe scope, get a formatted document
Emails
Dictate intent, get a clean message
Strategy notes
Think out loud, get organised reasoning
Video scripts
Describe the narrative, get a structured script
