Before you start
- An idea to talk aboutAn idea you can talk about for a few minutes: what you think, why, and the examples you have.
- A sample of your writingA sample of your own writing on your account (Account, Writing). SpeedWritr copies how it reads, never what it says. Without one it writes plain, direct and first person. You can keep up to 5 named samples (say "Blog voice", "X voice", "Sales voice") and pick one per project: SpeedWritr suggests the one whose name fits what you are creating, else your first. Other tools write in your first sample.
- A connected WordPress siteTo send a blog post, newsletter or sales page to WordPress: a site connected under Account, Publishing.
What you can create
One project makes one main piece. Pick it first, under What are you creating?
--- separates the posts.Subject: line, a Preview: line, then the body. Goes to WordPress as a draft post (without the Subject and Preview lines).Sales page copy and email swipes never make anything up. A price, result, number, testimonial, review, guarantee, refund, bonus, deadline, scarcity or link you did not give becomes a visible [ADD: ...] note for you to fill in, and any sentence claiming one is cut and listed under Check these before you publish. Every email's call to action gets [ADD: your link] unless your words hold the link. Put what is real in What you are offering so it can be used. A piece cannot be marked Ready while an [ADD: ...] note is left.
How a YouTube video script is made
0 of 5 done- Structure firstAfter the points check, SpeedWritr proposes the skeleton: one headline sentence per segment with 2 to 6 bullets each, only as many segments as the topic needs. Reorder, edit, merge, remove or add segments, and pick Word-for-word script (the full spoken script) or Bullet script (bullets to riff from). If the material is thin it says so and suggests a newsletter or a shorter piece, and it lists questions your viewers may ask that your notes do not answer. Press Looks right, write the script.
- The hookIt names who it is for through their struggle (the target), what they will be able to do after watching (the transformation) and what it costs them if they do not (the stakes). A credibility line only ever comes from what you wrote about yourself on your account.
- Each segmentIt has a setup (a mini-hook: why this part matters before the step), the tension (what the viewer probably does now and why it fails, then what to do instead) and a payoff that says what they now have or can do, never a recap. Setups and payoffs are written out word for word in both modes. Notes in square brackets suggest what to show on screen or film as B-roll.
- The call to actionIt links back to something in the video, raises curiosity about something new, and promises it in your next video (or your offer, if you chose that). Give the next video's title or link on the first screen; without one, the script says
[ADD: next video to link to]. A lead magnet you give gets a short mid-video call to action. - You decide when it is doneEdit it yourself, or press Tighten or Rewrite this segment on one segment at a time.
Say it
0 of 6 done- Open SpeedWritrAt speedwritr.ahastudio.net, or press Start something new on your account page and choose Content project.
- Pick what you are creatingFor email swipes, pick how many emails (3 to 7). For a video script, pick word-for-word or bullet script, where the closing call to action points, and optionally the next video and a lead magnet. For a sales page or email swipes, add What you are offering: what they get, the price, any guarantee or bonus, the link, only what is real.
- Fill the Your words boxDo it one of three ways: press the mic on the box and talk (each clip is up to 3 minutes; press it again to add more), paste notes or a transcript, or press Upload audio for an mp3, m4a, wav or webm file of up to 24 MB and 20 minutes (plan members). The words from the file are added to the box so you can read them over.
- For a blog post, pick the article typeFlexible, Informational, Listicle, How-to, Product or service review, Affiliate review, Comparison, Opinion or Case study. For an affiliate review, paste your disclosure: it is used word for word near the start.
- OptionalA working title, who it is for, what it should do, and a call to action. A call to action is only added when you type one, exactly as you wrote it.
- Hear my pointsPress Hear my points.
Record in takes, with a floating recorder (plan members)
0 of 6 doneFor talking through a longer piece, or reading from your own bullet points while you speak.
- Pick what you are creating, then press Record in takesThe project is saved straight away, so you can leave and pick it up later from Your work (Continue recording).
- Record, Pause, Resume, then Stop and save takeEach stop is one take. Press the Space bar to start, pause and resume. A take can be up to 20 minutes and a project up to 60 minutes in all.
- Each take uploads as soon as it stopsIf the connection drops, the take waits in your browser and tries again by itself; Retry upload shows if it still could not get through. Keep the page open until each take shows Saved.
- Rename, move up or down, play back or deleteDo this to any take. The order of the list is the order your words are used in.
- Open floating recorderIt puts a small recorder above your other windows (Chrome or Edge on a computer), with a timer, a level meter and your bullet points, so you can read from a Google Sheet or a doc and record at the same time. Paste the bullets into Your bullet points; they are saved with the project. Keep the SpeedWritr tab open: it holds the microphone. In other browsers it opens as a small pop-up window, or docks to the corner of the page.
- Press Transcribe and continueEvery take is turned into words in order (anything typed in the Your words box goes first), then the points check starts as usual. A take already transcribed is never transcribed or charged again.
Check the points
0 of 3 doneSpeedWritr lists every point it heard, one per line, and waits. Nothing is written until you say so.
- Fix what it misheardFix anything it misheard (names are often misheard in dictation). The corrected point wins over the transcript.
- Remove or add pointsPress Remove on anything that should stay out, and Add a point for anything you forgot. This works the same for every kind of piece: a brain dump for a video script is checked the same way as notes for a blog post.
- Write itPress Looks right, write it. Save for later keeps your changes and you can come back to the same link.
Your piece
--- between thread posts, the Subject: and Preview: lines, the ## section headings, a video's **Setup:**, **Tension:** and **Payoff:** labels) and warns you when an edit breaks it or runs over a limit; it still saves, but it cannot be Ready until it is fixed. It cannot be Ready while it holds a [CHECK: ...] or [ADD: ...] note either.Read it in the teleprompter
Tried it on the free demo first?
Sign in from the demo project and press Move this project into your account. It lands in Your work and carries on to Promote it without redoing anything (it counts as one of the month's projects). A project that already belongs to another account cannot be moved.
Promote it
Press Write all, or Write on one card. Every format is written to promote the piece you made, from your own words. A format that would only repeat it is left out (an X thread is not offered for an X thread). You can close the page: the formats keep being written and show up when you come back.
Subject: line and a Preview: line, then a blank line and the body; up to 20,000 characters.Hook: line said in the first 2 seconds (up to 8 words) and ends with a CTA: line that sends people to your piece.Press Open on a card to edit it (a thread has one box per post, the short video scripts one box per script), see Your words behind it, switch between versions, and Copy. The counter turns red over the limit; you can still save, but it cannot be Ready until it fits. Each card has its own Draft, Reviewed and Ready. Editing a piece after you reviewed it puts it back to Draft. Nothing is ever posted for you. You copy each piece and post it yourself.

Your plan also includes a monthly amount of AI work, shared by all your AI workers. Turning your voice or an audio file into words counts toward it too.
