Voice journal app guide: speak your day when typing feels like too much

Phone with a microphone on a blanket by a window at dusk, ready for voice journaling

Sometimes the hardest part of keeping a diary is starting to type. Speaking is faster and closer to how we actually think, which makes voice journaling a good way back into the habit.

Talk like you would to a friend

Don't aim for polished sentences. Describe where you were, what surprised you, what is still on your mind. You can tidy it up later, or not at all.

Keep it short

Two minutes of talking is plenty. The goal is to catch the day, not to record a podcast.
