use case · when typing hurts
Give your hands a break. Keep writing.
Sore wrists, repetitive strain, or a long day that isn't done with you — when every paragraph costs something, move the bulk of it to your voice. One shortcut, a spoken sentence, and the words are typed at your cursor, in any app.
one press instead of a thousand keystrokes
Press Ctrl ` and talk — email, documents, chats, forms, search boxes: wherever the cursor is, that's where the words go, already on the clipboard as backup. Toggle, push-to-talk, or a hybrid that decides from how long you hold the key — pick whichever asks the least of your hands.
Optional live captions show your words as you pause, so you can keep your eyes up while you speak.
unlimited, because it's your main input
When your voice is doing the typing, a word cap isn't an annoyance — it's a wall. Dictation here is free and unlimited: no caps, no trial clock, no subscription, and nothing that is free today ever moves behind the paywall. After a one-time model download it works offline too, so the setup you rely on doesn't depend on a connection.
honest about what it replaces
CroppickVoice shoulders the writing — it doesn't move the mouse or drive menus by voice, and starting it still takes that one shortcut. If most of your day is prose, that's most of the strain moved to your voice; the clicks stay yours. And when something needs showing rather than writing up, Alt ` crops the screen so you can mark it and talk about it — an annotated screenshot plus your words, with barely a key pressed.
