You need the internet to download it, for the speech model on first launch, and for updates. Dictation doesn't.

Why talk when you could type?

How much is your time worth? Most people type about 40 words a minute. Most people talk at 150 or more. Every email, every message, every note you type the slow way is time you don't get back.

Up to 6×faster than typing

Why murmrrr, and not the others?

It formats as you go

Say a list and you get a list. Start with "Hi Sarah" and you get a laid-out email. Quotes get quote marks, pauses get full stops, the ums disappear. Other dictation gives you one long run-on paragraph to fix by hand.

It stays out of your way

A small bar, one key, nothing to click. It leaves your graphics card alone, so it won't touch your games, and it goes quiet when you're not talking.

It's simpler

No account, no window to keep open, no copy and paste. Hold the key, say it, let go. The words land in Word, Gmail, Slack, your code editor, wherever you were already typing.

Your voice stays yours

Everything happens on your own computer. Nothing you say is uploaded, stored or used to train anything.

It works offline

On a train, on a plane, with the Wi-Fi down. Once it's set up, dictation never needs the internet.

It's free right now

No sign-up and no subscription. Most dictation apps charge every month, forever.

What's your typing costing you?

Be honest. How long do you spend typing each day? Even if talking were only three times faster, here's what you'd get back.

Minutes typing a day 60 Your time, per hour (£) 20

You'd get back about 153 hours a year. That's £3,067 of your time.

"Up to 6× faster" compares speaking at 150 to 220 words a minute with typing at 35 to 40, the average for most people. Your speed depends on you. The calculator uses 3× and 230 working days a year.

Talk normally. It tidies up.

The ums go. "At three, no, four" comes out as four. A pause gets a full stop.

Start with "Hi Sarah" and it lays out an email. "Eggs, milk and bread" becomes a list. "He said, I'll be there" gets its quote marks. Each one can be switched off.
