Tap once to start, tap again to stop. For a paragraph, a page, a chapter.
use case · writing
Write by voice. First drafts at talking speed.
A blank page is easier to talk at than to type at. Explain what you mean the way you would tell a colleague — the words appear wherever your cursor is, in Word, Google Docs, Notion or a plain text file — then shape them into the real thing.
any editor is a voice editor
There is no special app to write in and nothing to import later. Put the cursor where the words should go, press Ctrl ` , and talk: the text is typed at the cursor and kept on the clipboard as backup. Word, Google Docs, Notion, Obsidian, a Markdown file, a code comment — if it takes typing, it takes dictation.
three ways to hold the mic
Push-to-talk
Hold the key while you speak, let go to finish. For a sentence, a heading, a caption.
Hybrid
One key does both: it decides from how long you hold it whether you meant a tap or a hold.
from ramble to readable
Thinking out loud is messy on purpose — that is the thinking part. Say it messy, and let the Polish voice mode tidy the grammar and trim the filler before the text lands; or leave every mode off and get each word exactly as spoken. Polish runs on the built-in local model or your own Ollama server for free; Pro can run it through your own OpenAI or Claude account.
Add modes of your own, too — one that turns a spoken list into bullet points, one that writes the way your team's style guide asks — each with its own optional shortcut.
no word caps, no trial clock
A chapter is as welcome as a sentence. Dictation is free and unlimited, and after the one-time model download it all works with the internet off — on a train, in a café, or at a desk with the Wi-Fi switched off to get some writing done.
the take you want back
Hover the button and the recent transcripts are right there: search them, paste one again, polish it after the fact, or drag a screenshot straight into the document. Pro keeps that history on disk across restarts, from 50 entries up to unlimited.
questions
Does it work in Google Docs?
Yes — Google Docs in a browser is a text field like any other. The same goes for Word, Notion, Obsidian and plain text editors.
Can I dictate a whole chapter in one go?
Yes. There is no word cap and no trial clock. Tap the shortcut, talk for as long as you like, tap again.
Will it keep working on a plane?
Yes. After the one-time model download, dictation runs entirely on your computer; the network is not needed.
Does it need a powerful computer?
No. The standard model keeps up with your speech on an ordinary computer; a graphics card, if you have one, adds speed.
