Hold‑to‑talk hotkey
Release to insert text instantly. Choose keyboard, mouse side‑button, or a custom Remote Desktop shortcut.
Lightweight • Privacy‑First • Context‑aware
Ultra-fast, context-aware AI dictation that adapts to your app. Highlight text to refactor with voice, or "think out loud" with automatic self-correction.
"Finally, a dictation app that doesn't make my fans spin like a jet engine. It actually works inside my Citrix session where Wispr Flow failed."
Works anywhere text goes: VS Code, terminals, browsers, Outlook, Slack…
Default trigger
Ctrl + Windows (hold to talk)
- • Clipboard paste on host; types directly into Remote Desktop
- • Auto‑formats code, math, and emails
- • Skips silence and respects corrections ("actually/I mean…")
- • Domain‑aware prompting (finance/engineering/legal…)
Windows 10/11 today; macOS & Linux coming soon. Microphone required.
Built for speed, accuracy, and environments where other dictation tools fail.
Think Out Loud
Change your mind mid-sentence or give direct commands. Say "actually make it 60" to fix a slip, or "Format as a list" to restructure your thoughts instantly.
Works everywhere (incl. Remote Desktop)
When clipboards are blocked, DictaFlow types characters with a tunable delay so it works in tough environments.
AI Command Mode
Dictate text or delegate tasks. Say "Draft a professional email to my landlord" or "Write a Python script to parse this CSV" and watch it happen.
Noise‑smart
Skips silence/low‑signal to avoid junk output. Less cleanup, more flow.
Edit Any Selection (Pro)
Highlight text in any app—Word, Slack, or VS Code—and speak a command like "Make this more professional" or "Translate to Spanish" to refine it instantly.

Why it’s different
Local + Cloud Intelligence
Best of both worlds. Lightning‑fast local transcription for speed, plus secure cloud models for complex reasoning.
Privacy‑First Architecture
Processing is local‑first. We use end‑to‑end encryption for cloud tasks, and your audio is never stored.
Context‑aware brain
Understands your app to produce the right format—code in editors, emails in inboxes, clean corrections.
Built for flow
Hold → speak → release. No fiddly pop‑ups. Keyboard or mouse triggers. Works in any app.
How it works
Step 1
Hold your trigger
Ctrl+Windows by default, or set a mouse side button / VDI shortcut.
Step 2
Speak naturally
DictaFlow captures speech at 16 kHz mono for speed and accuracy.
Step 3
Release to insert
It pastes on host; it types into Remote Desktop. Your text lands right at the cursor.

FAQ
Does DictaFlow work in Citrix/VMware/Remote Desktop? ▾
Yes. Use a mouse side‑button or a custom shortcut; DictaFlow types characters (with an adjustable delay) instead of pasting, so it works where clipboards are restricted.
Can I change the hotkey? ▾
Yes. Set your preferred key combo or mouse button; Remote Desktop users can bind to rarely‑used keys (e.g., F13).
Which apps does DictaFlow support? ▾
Any app with a text cursor — IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), browsers, Outlook, Slack, terminals, notes, etc.
What about privacy and security? ▾
We use a local-first approach. Audio is processed on your device whenever possible, or sent via encrypted tunnels to secure cloud models for high-accuracy reasoning. We never store your audio or use your data for training.
Is DictaFlow always listening? ▾
No. DictaFlow records only while you hold your trigger. When you release, recording stops—there’s no always‑on microphone.
How many words come with Pro? ▾
Pro includes 100,000 words per month. Need more? Reach out and we’ll sort out higher-volume or team plans.
