A fraction of the cost

Less than one third the price of legacy dictation software, with no upgrade cycle to buy into.

No serial numbers

No activation codes, no licence keys to lose, no reinstall headaches.

Always improving

Built on the latest Microsoft and AI cloud speech engines, so accuracy improves continuously — not once every few years.

Still using outdated dictation software?

By tapping into the latest Microsoft and AI speech engines in the cloud, you get continuous improvements in speed and accuracy — no waiting years for an update. Your privacy is protected, with no audio stored or reused. And with pricing at less than one third of legacy dictation software, you get cutting-edge AI performance at unmatched value.

Your voice, vocabulary and data are never stored or shared

We built this with your privacy in mind. Audio is processed and immediately discarded, transcribed text is not stored on our servers, and your data is never used to train AI models.

The free tier gives you up to 20 minutes of dictation per month, ongoing. Affordable paid tiers are available for unlimited dictation and higher accuracy — from $149 per year.

Do you store any user data?

No. We store your email address for updates and product authorisation, plus usage logs. We do not store your vocabulary, your voice, voice training data or any other personal information.
