Your voice,
instantly typed.
Hold a hotkey, speak naturally, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — no windows, no copy‑paste.
Three steps. Zero friction.
How it works
Step 1
Hold your hotkey
Press and hold your chosen shortcut. Diktai starts listening.
Step 2
Speak naturally
Talk as you normally would. No need to slow down or over-enunciate.
Step 3
Text appears
Release the key. Your words are typed wherever your cursor is.
Universal compatibility
Works where you do.
Slack, email, your IDE, notes, browser — Diktai types directly into whatever app you're working in. No copy‑paste, no app switching.
Teach it your vocabulary — technical terms, names, jargon. Diktai learns the words that matter to you.
Menu bar native
Always there.
Never in the way.
Diktai lives in your menu bar — no windows to manage, no context switching. A subtle notch indicator shows when it's listening.
One hotkey away, in every app, on every screen. The fastest path from thought to text.
On-device AI
Your voice stays yours.
The free tier runs NVIDIA Parakeet v3 locally via CoreML. Your audio never leaves your Mac — no cloud, no data collection, no internet required.
Pro adds AI formatting that cleans up your transcription in the cloud. Audio is processed and immediately discarded — nothing is stored.
Simple pricing
Start free. Upgrade when you want more.
Both tiers include unlimited dictation. Pro adds AI formatting, smart cleanup, and custom vocabulary.
