✨ Speech2TextAI

Not sure what to say? Tap one:

This runs the app's real Google Gemini engine live — it removes filler words, adds punctuation, formats spoken lists, understands code, and can translate 30+ languages. The full app does all this straight into any Windows app.

How it works

Three moves. That's the whole manual.

Hold Ctrl + Win

A low beep tells you it's listening. Keep holding and just talk — ums, tangents, mid-sentence corrections and all.

Speak naturally

"Um, so basically tell the client we'll, uh, ship Tuesday — actually Wednesday." Say it how it comes out. The AI sorts it.

Release. Done.

Clean, punctuated text is typed straight at your cursor — in Outlook, Slack, Word, VS Code, a terminal, anywhere.

Features

Smarter than a transcript.

It doesn't just hear you — it understands what you meant to write.

🧠

Self-editing speech

Say "meet at 2 — actually 3" and it types 3. Fillers, false starts and "you know"s vanish automatically.

📋

Spoken lists → real lists

"First… second… third…" becomes a proper numbered list. Punctuation lands where you'd have put it.

💻

Developer-aware

camelCase, snake_case, file paths, CLI commands and code identifiers survive intact. Built for narrating while you code.

🎭

A tone per app

Professional in Outlook, casual in Slack, technical in the terminal — set a style per app and it just switches.

🌍

Speak any language — translate on the fly

Dictate in one language and have it typed out in another. 30+ languages, translated by the same AI — no Google Translate.

🙌

Hands-free for long sessions

Tap to start, tap to stop — no holding keys. Your words type out in live batches so you never lose a long dictation.

📚

Your words, your shortcuts

A custom dictionary for names and jargon, plus voice snippets: say "my sign-off", get your full email signature.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need anything else to use it?
Just a free Google AI (Gemini) API key — the setup window walks you through getting one in about two minutes, with a button that opens the right page. No Google Cloud billing, no card. Your key stays on your PC.
Is there really no subscription?
Really. £9.95 once and the app is yours, with 1 year of free updates included. The AI transcription runs on your own free Gemini key, so there are no usage bills from us — ever.
Which Windows versions does it support?
Windows 10 and Windows 11. It installs per-user (no admin rights needed) and sits quietly in your system tray.
How does the free trial work?
Download, install, dictate — the full app free for 28 days, no card required. When it ends, a one-off £9.95 unlocks it forever, and everything you've set up carries straight over.
Can I use it at work with a Google Workspace account?
Some company Google accounts block the Gemini API. Easiest fix: use a key from a personal Gmail account instead (takes two minutes and it's free), or ask IT to enable the "Generative Language API". The app detects this and tells you exactly what to do.
How fast is it?
Around one second from releasing the keys to text at your cursor for a typical dictation. The connection is warmed up while you're still speaking.
Does it work for coding?
It was literally built for narrating while coding. It preserves camelCase, snake_case, paths and CLI commands, and you can set a "technical" tone for your editor and terminal so nothing gets "autocorrected" into prose.

Your keyboard just became optional.

Install it now — you'll be dictating within five minutes.
