Dictāta: Voice-to-Text Magic for Your Entire Computer

Dictāta TeamBy Dictāta Team

Tired of being trapped in Google Docs just to use voice typing?

Freedom to Dictate Anywhere

Dictāta transforms every text field on your computer into a voice-powered input. Email, Word, Slack, code editors – if you can click in it, you can speak to it.

Why Your Keyboard Needs a Break

Think of Dictāta as your personal transcription genie. Press {hotkey}, speak naturally, and watch your words materialize wherever your cursor lives. No app-switching. No copy-pasting. No limitations.

AI-Powered Precision

Behind that simple interface, Dictāta packs serious muscle:

  • It turns your voice into text with scary accuracy
  • Then polishes your words to perfection
  • Multi-language support catches every accent and dialect

More Than Just Dictation

That floating mic button? Yeah, it’s not just decoration — it’s your new writing sidekick.

  • Real-time audio waves show it’s listening and locked in.
  • Voice-reactive feedback keeps your flow unbroken — no “is this thing on?” moments.
  • One hotkey to rule them all (Ctrl + Space or Option + Space). Instantly toggle dictation anywhere.
  • Need a clean screen? Just drag it aside or hide it completely.

But wait — Dictāta isn’t just listening. It understands.

Remember that ChatGPT prompt you always run your text through?

  • Right-click the Floating Button.
  • Flip the Prompts switch on.
  • Hit Option + Space and — boom — your voice runs through that prompt faster than Forrest Gump on caffeine.

Not in love with the text you just dictated? Let the Dictāta magic take over: A screenshot from Google Doc featuring a selected text and next to it a floating button saying "Dictate your prompt".

  • Highlight it.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Space (or your custom shortcut).
  • Tell Dictāta exactly what you want — “polish this,” “make it shorter,” “sound smarter.”
  • Watch it morph into the version you meant to write.

Dictāta doesn’t just take notes — it finishes your sentences. ✨
