Everything You Need to Dictate Effortlessly

From local AI transcription to intelligent post-processing, Dikt gives you a complete speech-to-text workflow that respects your privacy.

Powerful Transcription Engine

Multiple transcription engines working together to give you the best possible results, whether you're online or offline.

Local Whisper.cpp with multiple model sizes (tiny to large)
OpenAI Whisper API for cloud accuracy
GPT-4o Audio for high-quality cloud transcription
Real-time streaming preview — words appear as you speak
Automatic failover between providers
Retry with exponential backoff
Multi-language support (100+ languages)
Model download manager
Audio dimming — automatically dims system audio during dictation
GPU acceleration — run local Whisper with CUDA or DirectML for faster transcription (Auto/CPU/CUDA/DirectML)
Noise profile learning — record 3 seconds of ambient noise; Dikt filters it out of future recordings using spectral subtraction
Auto-correction suggestions — word-level confidence scores highlight uncertain words before injection so you can review and fix them

Raw transcription is just the beginning. AI post-processing transforms your spoken words into polished, ready-to-use text.

Grammar and punctuation correction
Filler word removal ("um", "uh", "like")
Voice commands ("period", "comma", "new line", "new paragraph")
Editing voice commands ("scratch that", "delete last word", "select all")
AI Command Mode — transform selected text with voice instructions (Ctrl+Shift+Space)
Context-aware formatting adjusts tone by app (formal for email, casual for chat)
Custom vocabulary for proper nouns, technical terms, and brand names
Snippets — text shortcuts with {date} and {time} variables
Profanity filter — automatically removes curse words with built-in + custom word lists
Swear Jar — fun metrics tracking words cleaned, cost, and daily trends
Powered by GPT-4o-mini and Claude Haiku
BYOK: Use your own API keys, pay only for what you use
Real-time translation — dictate in any language and have the output automatically translated (e.g. speak Spanish, get English text)
Word correction training — define wrong→correct pairs (e.g. "mispelt" → "misspelled") applied as a post-processing pass before cleanup
Markdown voice mode — say "heading one", "bullet point", "open code block" and get proper Markdown syntax; auto-enabled in Obsidian, Typora, and VS Code
Custom AI persona library — choose from 6 built-in personas (Technical Writer, Doctor, Journalist, Lawyer, Code Reviewer, Casual) or create your own
Multi-turn AI Command Mode — AI Command Mode remembers your last 3 instructions for back-and-forth editing; say "start over" to reset

Dikt integrates at the system level so you can dictate into any application without switching windows or copying text.

Global hotkey (customizable, default Ctrl+Alt+Space)
Push-to-talk or toggle mode — choose your style
Push-to-talk grace period — quick-tap toggles recording without holding
Automatic text injection at cursor position
Append mode for continuous dictation
Works with Notepad, Word, Slack, VS Code, Chrome, email, any text field
Obsidian integration — dictate directly into your vault notes
Notion integration — push transcriptions to Notion pages via API
VS Code extension — dictate code comments, docstrings, and commit messages
Output templates — format with {text}, {date}, {time} placeholders
Clipboard re-inject queue — when injection fails (no focused window), text is queued; click the overlay to inject into whatever window you focus next
Code dictation mode — natural language dictation auto-formatted as code when dictating in an IDE (Rider, Visual Studio, Cursor, IntelliJ)
Wake word / always-on listening — say "Hey Dikt" to start recording hands-free (uses Windows built-in speech recognition)

Your voice data is yours. Dikt is built from the ground up to keep your data private and secure.
