Unleash Your Voice. Type at the Speed of Thought.

A powerful dictation utility for Windows. Use state-of-the-art local or cloud models to transcribe your speech into text, anywhere you have a cursor.

From Voice to Text in Three Simple Steps

Step 1: Press & Speak

Press the dictation hotkey. The tray icon turns green, signaling that DictateDash is listening. Just say what's on your mind.

Step 2: Automatic Transcription

Press the same hotkey again. The icon turns yellow as your audio is instantly sent for transcription—either on your own machine or to a secure cloud provider.

Step 3: Watch It Type

In seconds, the transcript is typed out where your cursor is active. It works in any application, from your browser to your favorite code editor.

Built for Creators, Professionals, and Anyone Who Types.

Prolific Writers & Bloggers

Pain Point: "Tired of the blank page? Keyboard can't keep up with your ideas?"

Solution: Focus on your story, not the keys. Dictate your novel, draft your next blog post, and capture fleeting ideas with natural speech. Use custom prompts to teach DictateDash character names and unique terms.

Busy Professionals

Pain Point: "Drowning in emails, reports, and meeting notes?"

Solution: Reclaim your time. Draft detailed emails and create comprehensive reports in a fraction of the time. Leverage specialized medical or financial speech-to-text models, or use prompts to ensure industry-specific jargon is transcribed perfectly.

Developers & Technical Users

Pain Point: "Explaining complex code in comments or documentation is tedious."

Solution: Dictate your code comments, document your logic, and write technical specifications with ease. DictateDash's accuracy with custom vocabulary means you can even teach it function names and technical acronyms.

Accessibility Champions

Pain Point: "Typing is a barrier, not a tool."

Solution: Break down the barriers between thought and text. DictateDash is a powerful ally for users with RSI, carpal tunnel, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD and other conditions that make typing difficult. Its not just a convenience; it's an enabler.
