Voice to Documentation

Turn spoken explanations into structured technical documentation. Capture knowledge while it's fresh without the friction of writing it from scratch.

The Problem

Technical documentation is critical but chronically neglected because writing it is tedious. Engineers know how systems work but dread sitting down to document them. By the time they get around to it, crucial details are forgotten or the codebase has moved on.

The Solution

Ummless lets you explain a system or feature out loud, then transforms your spoken explanation into well-structured documentation with headings, code references, and clear technical language. You capture knowledge in the moment it's freshest.

Before & After

Raw Transcript

So the auth flow works like this, um, the user clicks sign in and then Clerk handles the OAuth redirect. After they come back we uh we grab the JWT and pass it to Convex which validates it against the issuer domain. If it's valid then we create a session and uh store the user record in the users table.

Refined Output

## Authentication Flow 1. The user initiates sign-in, which triggers an OAuth redirect handled by Clerk. 2. Upon successful authentication, Clerk returns a JWT to the client. 3. The client passes the JWT to Convex for validation against the configured issuer domain. 4. Once validated, Convex creates a new session and stores the user record in the `users` table.
