For international speakers

Speak your language, send another.

Give a slot an output language and dictation in that slot arrives translated, in whatever app you are typing in. Dictation recognises 90+ languages and translation covers 29, all on your own computer.

Speak your language, — the app in action
How it works

Three steps, then one key.

Set the pair once. After that the same key works in every app on the machine.

1

Open the Slots tab

Each slot carries a spoken language, a model and an output language.

2

Set both languages

Pick a slot, set the spoken language, then set Output language to what you want typed.

3

Hold the hotkey and speak

The translation types itself where the cursor is, and the overlay names the pair.

Who it is for

Two ways to use the pair.

One slot holds both languages. Set what is spoken and what gets typed, then use the same key everywhere.

Dictating in one language while an English message is typed

International speakers

Speak your own language and send English. The message is written where the cursor is, in mail, chat, a document or a form, with nothing sent to a server.

One language spoken while the other appears on screen

Language learners

Speak the language you know and read back the one you are working on. The overlay names the pair while you record, for example EN to TR.

Languages

90+ recognised, 29 translated.

Dictation recognises 90+ languages. Subtitles and translation cover 29 of them, and each picker marks the weaker pairs as beta or reduced accuracy, so the label is on screen at the moment you choose.

  • 90+ languages recognised for dictation
  • 29 languages for translation, subtitles and transcripts
  • Weaker pairs marked beta or reduced accuracy in the picker

Slots

Five slots, five pairs.

Each slot carries a spoken language, a model and an output language, so one key can write English and another can write Turkish. Pro and the 30-day trial have five slots. The free version has one.

  • A spoken language, a model and an output language in every slot
  • Five slots on Pro and the 30-day trial, one slot on the free version
  • The overlay names the pair while you record, for example EN to TR

On your machine

Nothing is sent anywhere.

The speech is recognised and the translation is made on your own computer, so neither the audio nor the text goes to a server. Translation engines are downloaded when a language needs one, and English output needs no engine at all.

  • No audio and no text goes to a server
  • Works offline
  • English output needs no engine

Features

Dictation recognises 90+ languages. Subtitles and translation cover 29 of them, and each picker marks the weaker pairs as beta or reduced accuracy so you know what to expect before you start. Vocabulary support also covers 29 languages.

Whichever one has focus. Hold your hotkey, speak, and the translated text is typed where the cursor is, in mail, chat, a document or a form. There is nothing to copy and nothing to paste.

It is a label in the picker. Subtitles and translation cover 29 languages, and the pairs that perform less well are marked beta or reduced accuracy in the language picker itself, so the label is visible at the moment you choose. The marked pairs work; expect to read the result before you publish it.

The free version (free forever, no account and no card) transcribes files up to 3 minutes with a smaller model and dictates in one language slot; it does not make subtitles or translate. Pro and the 30-day trial make subtitles for files of any length with the Best model, translate subtitles and transcripts into 29 languages on your own computer, and carry five language slots, each with its own output language.
