dictate.app is a Windows desktop app. Bookmark this page to install on your PC.

dictate.app is a Windows voice dictation app. It uses Groq's Whisper API to transcribe speech at 200ms latency. It costs $8.99/month with a 7-day free trial. It works in every Windows app — browsers, Word, Outlook, Slack, VS Code, and more.

Every Other Option Fails You

Dragon costs $699. Chrome extensions are stuck inside the browser. Windows built-in dictation drops words. There is a better way.

💸

Dragon is $699 — and still breaks on Windows 11

Nuance's flagship costs more than a month of rent, requires a training ritual, and ships bugs on every major OS update. You pay for legacy debt, not speed.

🔒

Chrome extensions only work inside the browser

Browser-based dictation is useless the moment you switch to Slack, Notion, VS Code, or your email client. You still have to type everywhere else.

Windows built-in dictation misses words and skips apps

Win+H only works in some fields, drops syllables mid-sentence, and has no cross-app paste. It's a half-feature, not a workflow tool.

No credit card. No setup. Cancel anytime.

Built for Speed & Privacy

Global Hotkey

Ctrl+Space anywhere. Record. Done. No app switching.

Instant Transcription

Auto-Paste

Text goes directly into your active field. Email, Slack, code. Anywhere.

Multi-Language

70+ languages. Auto-detect or pin your preference.

Streak & Stats

Track words transcribed, daily counts, time saved. Watch your voice compound.

Privacy First

Groq Whisper processes your audio in ~200ms. Your key. Zero storage on our end.

$8.99/month after trial. Cancel before and pay nothing.

I built dictate.app because I kept losing thoughts. I type at 80 WPM, but my ideas move faster. Every tool I tried either cost a fortune, broke on updates, or only worked inside one app. I wanted something dumb-simple: press a key, speak, text appears. No account. No training run. No surveillance.

This is a new app. No enterprise sales team, no VC pitch deck. Just software I use every day and wanted other people to have. The 7-day trial is full-featured because I want you to actually try it before you decide.

Why Voice Wins

3x Faster Output

150 words/min speaking vs. 40 typing. Your hands were never the bottleneck. Your voice was.

Hand & Eye Rest

Typing tension, RSI, eye strain. Speaking is how humans naturally dump thoughts. Let your hands breathe.

Thought Preservation

Ideas die in the typing lag. Speak and capture them in real-time. No mental friction.

Questions

+ Is there a refund policy?
7-day 7-day free trial. If dictate.app doesn't fit your workflow, full refund—no questions asked.
+ Where does my data go?
Just Groq. Your audio goes to Groq's Whisper API — the same infrastructure that powers major AI products. Groq does not store your audio or train models on it. Nothing reaches HMW servers. Ever.
+ Does it require internet?
Yes — dictate-app.pages.dev uses Groq's Whisper API for transcription, which requires internet. The upside: Groq is ~300× faster than running Whisper locally on CPU. ~200ms per recording instead of 1-2 seconds. Your audio goes to Groq only — they don't store it or train on it.
+ How do I get started?
Download the app, press the hotkey, speak. Done. No setup, no account, no credit card. Works in any text field on your computer.
+ Can I set my own hotkey?
Yes — any plan, any user. Go to Settings and set any key combination you want. Ctrl+Space is the default, but make it yours.
+ What languages are supported?
70+ languages. Auto-detect or manually pin a language in settings. English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, and many more.
+ Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel with one click. No locks, no tricks. Your 7-day trial requires no credit card — you choose at the end.
+ What are the system requirements?
Windows 10+ or macOS 11+. 500MB disk space. Microphone required. 4GB RAM minimum.
