Voice Dictation for Notion: Pages, Database Entries & Documentation
Create Notion pages and content 4× faster. Contextli transforms your voice into properly structured Notion content.
Notion is where ideas become organized—wikis, databases, documents, notes. But all that organization requires content, and content requires typing. Contextli lets you populate your Notion workspace by voice, creating properly structured pages, detailed database entries, and comprehensive documentation without the typing overhead.

Why Use Contextli for Notion?
Notion's power is in its structure—but structuring content takes time. Contextli understands Notion's block-based format: headers become headers, lists become lists, and content flows into proper sections. Speak your thoughts; get structured Notion pages.
Notion + Contextli: Common Questions
Does Contextli create Notion blocks correctly?
Contextli outputs markdown that Notion renders as blocks. Headers become H1/H2/H3 blocks, lists become bullet/number blocks, and so on. Paste into Notion and it automatically converts to the right block types.
Can I dictate into Notion databases?
Yes! Use the Database Entry mode to create rich content for database page entries. Click into a database page, dictate your content, and Notion will store it as page content within that database entry.
Does Contextli work with Notion templates?
Contextli works in any text area in Notion. You can use Notion's templates to create the structure, then fill in sections using Contextli. Great for recurring meeting notes or project documentation.
