Faster than typing. Everywhere you type.
Push-to-talk dictation
Hold your hotkey, speak, release. Your words are typed directly into whatever app you're focused on — email, Slack, your IDE, the browser.
Live transcription
Words appear in a floating HUD as you speak, so you can see the transcript take shape in real time before it lands in your app.
100% private
Speech recognition runs entirely on your device with Whisper AI. No cloud, no account, and it works completely offline.
Polish — AI rewrite
Select any text, press your Polish hotkey, and a local AI rewrites it cleanly. Even the rewriting model runs on your machine.
Meeting Mode
Record and transcribe system audio from calls and meetings, then search the transcripts whenever you need them.
History
Every dictation is saved locally and searchable. One click to copy anything you've ever said.
