Write 3x faster with your voice

Write your book
with your voice.

Dragon costs $65/month and needs weeks of training. Google Voice Typing has terrible formatting. Writer's block wins when you stare at a screen. Speaking bypasses all of it. Mumbl cleans up your speech and gives you a draft ready to edit.

"so the character enters the room and she already knows something is wrong, it's not anything she can see exactly, it's more like the air is different, too still, and the reader should feel that before she even crosses the threshold"

Mumbl output — Prose

She knew before she saw. The room looked the same — same furniture, same grey afternoon light pooling on the floor. But the air had changed. It was the kind of stillness that isn't peaceful, the kind that precedes something. She stood at the threshold, one hand on the doorframe, and let her body tell her what her eyes could not. Something was wrong.

Why writers are switching from Dragon

"The number 1 cause of writer's block is fear. The solution is to stop staring at the screen and talk instead."

"Dragon Professional Anywhere starts at $65/month per user, with no free version for individual authors." That's $780/year to dictate.

"Google's voice typing uses older technology that doesn't understand context well, which causes spacing errors and merged words."

Mumbl uses Whisper AI. No training. No cloud. $200 lifetime. Works in Scrivener, Word, Google Docs, anywhere you write.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really write a book by dictating?

Many professional authors dictate their first drafts. Speaking engages a different part of your brain, producing more natural, conversational prose. Mumbl cleans up filler words so you get a usable draft, not a messy transcript.

Does it work with Scrivener?

Yes. Mumbl pastes text wherever your cursor is. Scrivener, Word, Google Docs, Ulysses, Notion, any writing app. It's system-wide, not locked to one program.

How does it handle dialogue and creative writing?

Mumbl transcribes what you say and formats it in your chosen style. For dialogue, speak naturally and edit the formatting after. The goal is getting words on the page fast, then refining. First drafts don't need to be perfect.
