FluidVoice
Speak naturally. Write instantly. FluidVoice is free, open-source voice-to-text that turns what you say into clean text in any app you already use.
I have put it here because it does one thing very well, and it does it without sending your words anywhere.
If your day is mostly writing, emails, notes, briefs, messages, then speaking is faster than typing. FluidVoice lets you talk instead, and the text lands clean and ready in whatever you are working in.
You press a shortcut and talk. It types punctuated text straight into the app you are in, and a small AI model on your own machine tidies the phrasing, fixes the casing and shapes the tone to fit the app. Nothing you say is sent anywhere, which matters when the words are client work.
- Turns speech into clean, formatted text in any app
- Runs on your own machine, so nothing you dictate leaves it
- Polishes rough dictation with a local AI model
- Shifts the tone to match the app you are writing in
- Works offline, with no account and no subscription
- Handles more than 40 languages
