Four ways to use your voice.

Each mode is one hotkey away. All of them run on-device.

Dictation

Your voice. Their text field.

Press a hotkey anywhere — email, Slack, your IDE — and speak. Words land in real time, processed entirely on your hardware.

  • Real-time streaming via Parakeet or Whisper
  • Auto-punctuation and paragraph breaks
  • Works offline — plane, subway, anywhere
Read Aloud

Highlight. Listen. Keep moving.

Select any text and press a hotkey. 51 local voices read it back — powered by Kokoro, entirely on-device. Proofreading, articles, eyes-free review.

  • 51 natural voices, multiple accents
  • Adjustable speed — 0.5x to 2x
  • All audio generated on-device
AI Rewrite

Say what to change. It changes.

Select text, speak an instruction — "shorten this," "make it formal," "translate to Spanish." Qwen3 rewrites it on-device. No API key. No upload.

  • Voice-controlled — say what you want changed
  • Qwen3 on Apple Silicon, entirely local
  • Any app — email, docs, chat, code
Snippets

Six keystrokes. One full paragraph.

Define triggers like /greet or /proposal. Type one, press Space — it expands instantly. Variables, fill-in prompts, AI-drafted text. All local.

  • Instant expansion — no network needed
  • Variables: {date}, {time}, {clipboard}, {fill}
  • AI can draft the expansion for you

Completely private.

Audio, text, and AI stay on your hardware. Open-source models. No telemetry.

Zero latency. Zero internet.

On-device models. No round-trips. Airplane mode? Still works.

99 languages. Offline.

Parakeet streams 25 in real time. Whisper covers 99. Switch any time.

Custom Modes

One voice.
Every register.

Speak naturally. Dictar shapes the output — formal email, quick Slack, legal memo, or raw transcript.

You said
"hey just wanted to check in about the contract stuff, the numbers look kinda off and we should probably fix that before the meeting tomorrow"
Email mode output
Hi Sarah, I wanted to follow up regarding the contract details. Upon review, I noticed a few discrepancies in the figures that may need to be addressed before tomorrow's meeting. Could we schedule a quick call this afternoon to align on the corrections? Best regards

For Developers

Speak the prompt.
Ship the feature.

Dictate multi-line instructions into Claude Code, Cursor, or any editor. A 30-second voice note replaces two minutes of typing.

Any terminal. Any editor.
One global hotkey. Speak, press enter. Works system-wide.
Talk at the speed of thought
Describe a full feature in one breath. No wrist strain.
Nothing leaves your machine
Transcription is on-device. Your prompts and source code stay local.

Set up in two minutes.

No account. No config file. No learning curve.

01
Buy once, start immediately

Pay $15, get a license key by email. Paste it in — done. No account, no setup.

02
Download a model

75 MB for speed or 3 GB for accuracy. Stored locally. Switch any time.

03
Set your hotkeys

Assign a hotkey to each mode — dictation, read-aloud, AI commands, and snippets. Link modes to apps.

04
Speak. Trigger. Listen.

Dictate anywhere, read anything back, expand shortcuts. Your keyboard becomes optional.

Heard from real users.

Writers. Developers. People who think faster than they type.

PK
Priya K.
Account Executive
Code Review
