Voice Typing in Basecamp: How to Add Speech-to-Text to Your Workflow

Basecamp is great for text-first collaboration: messages, to-dos, docs and comments. In the official docs checked for this article, we did not find a built-in voice dictation workflow for the editor. If you want hands-free writing for check-ins or message threads, you can add it yourself with Vibe Typer.

Does Basecamp Have Voice Notes or Dictation?

We did not find a built-in Basecamp voice dictation workflow in the official docs checked. That means no mic button in the editor and no automatic speech to text.

Add Voice Typing That Works Everywhere

Vibe Typer brings system-wide dictation across many apps. Set a keyboard shortcut, press and hold to talk, and see your words appear wherever your cursor is, including Basecamp’s message composer, comments, to-do descriptions, and docs. You can also select existing text and ask Vibe Typer to rewrite it based on your instruction, or copy content to your clipboard and ask Vibe Typer to generate a reply using your voice prompt.

How to Use It With Basecamp

Install Vibe Typer from vibetyper.com on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Open a Basecamp message, to-do, or doc and click in the editor.
Hold your Vibe Typer shortcut, speak naturally, then release, no need to explicitly say punctuation.
Ask Vibe Typer to rewrite a paragraph for clarity or tone when needed.

Practical Tips

For check-ins: dictate your answer, then highlight and refine with AI rewrite.
For to-dos: keep titles short and add details in the description with voice.
For long messages: work in paragraphs; Vibe Typer will handle punctuation automatically.
