Who this is for
Anyone who procrastinates on emails because finding the polished words is friction, and wants a draft from just talking it through.
The moment this saves you
I have an important email to write, I know exactly what I want to say, but I keep putting it off for days because sitting down to find the polished words feels like more effort than it should.
See it work
Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
I need to write an email to a potential partner I met at an event. The goal is to follow up and propose a call to explore working together. The tone should be warm and professional, not stiff, we had a good rapport. What I want to say, remind them we met at the conference and chatted about the content collaboration idea, say I've been thinking about it and I think there's real potential, specifically I could see us doing a joint webinar to start. Propose a 30 minute call next week to explore it. Keep it short, people are busy, and end with a clear call to action to pick a time.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to talk through an email I need to write. Turn it into a clean email draft as a blockquote, with a subject line, an appropriate greeting, well-structured body paragraphs conveying the points I want, and a clear closing/call to action. Match the tone I specify and keep it concise. Use placeholders like [name] and [link] where I don't give specifics. End with an italic tone note. Use only the content and intent I give. Don't invent facts or commitments. Output only the draft.

Complaint Draft Note
You're furious about the bad service or the wrong charge, and if you write the email while angry it'll be a rant they ignore. Vent it all out loud. You get a firm, calm, effective complaint that states the facts and the resolution you want, so you actually get it sorted.
Voice to Blog Draft
You can explain the whole idea out loud in five minutes, then the blank doc makes it die. Just talk the post through. You get a structured draft with a headline and headed sections, the hard 80% done, so you're editing instead of staring.
Sales Follow-Up Note
The deal lives or dies on the follow-through, and the follow-through dies in your memory. The second the call ends, say what you promised and when. You get a crisp action note, who to email, what to send, the deadline, so nothing slips through.
Questions people ask
Questions knowledge workers ask about Voice to Email
What is the best way to track expenses on the go?
The most reliable method is to log each item the moment it happens, before you forget it. The Voice to Email context lets you speak the details in plain language and produces an expense entry with amount, category, and date. You capture it in under 20 seconds, without a receipt app or a spreadsheet.
How do I keep track of expenses without a complicated app?
Open Contextli, select the Voice to Email context, and speak it as it happens: what it was for, how much, and the category. The context formats it into an expense entry. At the end of the month you have a log of every entry in a consistent format, ready to hand to your accountant.
Can I log expenses by voice instead of typing?
Yes. The Voice to Email context is built for exactly this workflow. Speak the details in natural language and the context structures them into an expense entry with the relevant fields. The recording stays on your device.
What should each entry include for tax purposes?
For tax purposes, each entry should include the date, the amount, the business purpose, the vendor or payee, and the category. The Voice to Email context captures all of these from your spoken description. Consult your accountant or tax advisor to confirm what records your jurisdiction requires.
How do I add this context to Contextli?

Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
