Free open-source dictation that runs speech-to-text on your own machine
Press a configurable hotkey and your words are typed into whichever app has focus — chat clients, editors, browsers and terminals alike.
Run on-device models such as Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet for full privacy, or switch to cloud transcription with your own provider API keys.
Spoken instructions like "clean this up" or "draft an email" let the model restructure and polish the raw transcript before it lands.
Names, jargon and technical terms are auto-learned from your corrections so recurring vocabulary stops being misheard.
The AI editor built for finishing books, screenplays and long-form stories
Write your draft and talk to the AI in the same workspace, so there is no copy-pasting between a chatbot and your document.
Store characters, settings and scenes in Notes so the AI can give suggestions that stay consistent with your story.
Define custom writing rules to train the assistant on the quirks and voice that make your writing yours.
Work without an internet connection and use version history, keyboard shortcuts and rich formatting including images, tables, code and math blocks.
Offers superior reasoning and creative generation capabilities, but lacks Type.ai's specialized long-form manuscript and chapter structure.
