Voice Editing

How Voice Editing Works

Voice editing is the heart of Fable. Instead of typing commands or clicking through menus, you press record, say what you want in plain language, and the AI makes it happen.

What You Can Say

You can give any kind of instruction — from small tweaks to sweeping changes:

• "Make the opening paragraph more dramatic"
• "Add a scene where the characters arrive at the castle"
• "Fix the dialogue in the third paragraph — it feels stiff"
• "Change the tone to be more mysterious"
• "Remove the last two paragraphs"
• "Write the opening scene of a mystery novel set in 1920s Paris"

The AI can edit existing text and generate new content from scratch. Open a blank document and describe what you want — the AI will write it for you. But the real magic is in editing and refining your own writing.

The Recording Experience

While recording, an animated indicator gives you real-time visual feedback that Fable is listening. The record bar also displays your last instruction for context, so you always know what you asked for most recently.

After you stop recording, you'll see a brief processing state while Fable transcribes your voice and sends the instruction to the AI. Then changes start streaming into your document — you can watch paragraphs appear and transform in real time.

A Respectful AI Editor

Fable's AI is designed to be a careful editor, not a ghostwriter:

• Preserves your voice — it matches your style, tone, and word choices
• Makes targeted changes — it only touches what you asked about
• Never rewrites unless asked — it won't restructure your whole document uninvited
• Always explains itself — every edit comes with a clear explanation
• Works with any kind of writing — fiction, non-fiction, scripts, notes, outlines, poetry

Privacy

When you give a voice instruction, the AI only sees the current document and what you asked for. It doesn't have access to your other documents or projects.
