Dictation + live translation · macOS & Windows
Speak in your language,
text appears in theirs.
If you write professionally in a language that isn't your first — or need your words to land in someone else's — the gap between what you mean and what they read costs you every day. Dictare closes it. Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, release. Polished text appears at your cursor, in any language.
v0.1.1 · macOS 11+ · Windows 10/11 · free to try, 30 minutes a day for 7 days — no card to start.
How it works
- Hold ⌘⇧Space on Mac, or Ctrl+Alt+Space on Windows.
- Speak naturally — Dictare transcribes your speech in ~99 languages.
- Release. Polished text pastes straight into whatever app you're in — in your language, or translated into any of 37 others.
No reaching for a browser tab, no cleaning up afterwards. The words you meant, where you need them.
When the words have to land right
Working in your second language — or writing into someone else's — means every important message costs a little more effort. You second-guess the tone. You paste into a browser tab. You edit it back to sound like yourself.
Dictare removes that loop. Speak, release, done — polished text appears where you're already typing.
- Works in any app. Slack, email, Teams, Notion — text lands at your cursor. No tab switching, no copying.
- Any language, any direction. Speak French, send Japanese. Speak Spanish, send Korean. 37 languages, every direction. No English required.
- Tone and grammar polished. Not raw transcription — corrected before it pastes, so what arrives sounds considered.
- No capable hardware needed. Cloud-powered, same quality on any laptop, any age, Mac or Windows.
Cloud-powered, so Dictare needs an internet connection.
Private & secure
Your voice and your text are never used to train AI, and never stored. Dictation goes through trusted providers under contracts that prohibit training on your data — your words are processed to give you your text, and then they're gone.
