SpeakribeDictation for Linear
The difference between a useful issue and a useless one is the description, and the description is the part everybody skips. Speaking it takes twenty seconds, which is roughly the point at which people stop skipping it.
Why it helps here
Issues get filed as a title and nothing else, because writing the repro steps and the context is a chore at the exact moment you are trying to get back to what you were doing. Two weeks later nobody knows what the issue meant.
Descriptions actually get written
The cost of a proper description drops far enough that writing one stops being a decision.
Comments and updates too
Status updates and handover comments are the other place issues rot. Same shortcut, same speed.
No plugin, no account
Speakribe types into the focused field, so there is nothing to install into Linear and nothing to authorise.
Things people say into Linear
- “Repro: open the settings page, switch the toggle twice quickly, and the panel renders empty until reload.”
- “Context: this came from a customer report, it affects anyone on the legacy plan, and there's no workaround.”
- “Blocked on the API change landing first. Once that ships this is about an hour of work.”
- “Closing this as won't-fix. The underlying behaviour changed upstream, so it no longer reproduces.”
Questions people actually ask
- Does it work in Linear's desktop app?
- Yes, and in the browser. It types into whichever field has focus.
- Can I dictate markdown formatting?
- It writes prose; Linear's own markdown shortcuts still apply to the text afterwards.
- Will it get technical terms right?
- Mostly. Project-specific names are the usual exception, and the app has a custom-words list to teach it those.
