Getting started
What ThoughtSift does and how a spoken thought becomes a visual diagram.
ThoughtSift turns a spoken thought into a visual artefact — a mind map, flowchart, or sequence diagram — that you can look at, share, and act on.
The three stages
Every capture moves through the same pipeline:
- Capture & transcribe — record your voice (or type), and ThoughtSift produces a transcript.
- Content intelligence — the transcript is classified by thought type and a diagram style is recommended.
- Visual generation — a diagram is generated and persisted to your local history, ready to share.
Your first capture
- Start a recording — on iOS you can begin screen-off with a volume-button or voice trigger, so the phone stays locked.
- Speak your thought. A haptic tap confirms when capture completes.
- ThoughtSift transcribes, classifies, and generates a diagram you can review on the result screen.
- From there you can share a link, export to your PKM tool, or replay it later from history.
