🎙 Voice input for people who find typing hard · Mac & Windows

You speak. It types.

Speak, and text lands right at your cursor — no hands needed. Meetings take notes for you; select any text to rewrite or translate it. Recognition runs entirely offline on your machine: your voice stays yours alone.

🎙

Speak to type

Double-tap Command (Mac) or hold Right Alt (Windows), speak, and text lands right at your cursor.

As you speak, the HUD shows recognized text in real time with auto-scrolling — confirm as you go, never wonder if you were heard.

✨
