Before
By the third hour your wrists ache and the replies get shorter. You paste the help-centre link instead of writing the answer. The customer feels it. The macros pile up because writing a fresh reply costs too much.

Dictation for customer support
Support replies are short paragraphs that you write fifty times a day. Voiacast moves them to your voice so the personal reply is cheaper than the canned one.
After
You read the ticket, hold the hotkey, talk the answer, and send. The reply is one paragraph, written for this customer. The wrist budget you saved on the long replies keeps you in the chat for the rest of the day.
Jobs to be done
What this scenario is for.
- Answer a ticket with a real paragraph instead of a one-line link.
- Capture the troubleshooting steps you just walked the customer through.
- Reply to chat sessions at the cadence the customer is typing.
- Stop using canned responses for things that deserve a personal reply.
How to
Step by step.
- Set up the dictionary with product names and support jargon. Add your product names, plan tiers, common feature names, internal acronyms, and the spellings you use for customer names. They get applied automatically on every transcription.
- Use it in your support tool. Whichever tool you live in — Help Scout, Intercom, Zendesk, Front, Linear — Voiacast types into the focused reply field. Place your cursor in the textarea, hold the hotkey, talk.
- Press, talk, release, edit. Edit on the keyboard after release. Reading speed beats dictation editing speed. Fix the one or two typos and send.
- Reach for macros only for genuine boilerplate. Voiacast is faster than macros for personalised replies and slower than macros for the literal copy-paste cases. Use both for what they are good at.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered briefly.
Will it work in Help Scout, Intercom, Zendesk, and Front?
Yes. Voiacast types into whichever text field has focus. All four tools are standard text inputs in the browser and accept the keystroke stream.
Can my team share a custom dictionary?
The dictionary is a local file today. The Pro tier adds settings export and import, so a single shared dictionary file can be distributed to a team manually. Cloud-synced dictionaries are deferred.
Does dictation slow down the customer chat?
Push-to-talk is faster than typing the same length of reply. The transcription completes on key release, so the reply is ready when you stop talking.
Is my customers' data private?
Audio is processed on your Mac and discarded. The transcript appears in the reply field you are focused on; Voiacast does not store, log, or send the text anywhere.
What if the customer's name doesn't transcribe well?
Add it to the dictionary. The dictionary handles unusual names, regional spellings, and product names that the model would otherwise guess phonetically.
