One key, two languages

Speak one language, type another.

Give a slot an output language and dictation in that slot arrives translated, in whatever app you are typing in. The overlay names the pair while you record, for example EN to TR. It all runs on your own computer.

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

Three steps, one key.

Set the pair once and 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 the output language

Pick a slot and 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.

Any app

It types into whatever has focus.

Mail, chat, documents, forms. The translated text arrives where the cursor already is, in the app you are already in, so there is nothing to copy and nothing to paste.

  • Mail, chat, documents and forms
  • The text lands where the cursor is
  • The overlay names the pair while you record, for example EN to TR

Five slots, five ways to work.

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
  • Give a slot an output language and its text arrives translated

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
  • Engines download only when a language needs one

Features

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.

On your own machine. The file is transcribed first, then translated, both on your computer, and 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.

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.

By default you dictate with a global hotkey, Right Option + Space on Mac. Hold it to talk (push-to-talk) and release to insert your text, or tap it to toggle recording on and off, whichever feels natural. The hotkey works in any app, anywhere on your computer. You can remap it to a different combination in settings, and Pro lets you set up to five separate slots for different languages or shortcuts.

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.
