the new designs you sent are completely wrong we need to start over by tomorrow or the client will be furious

With Talkativ

Hi team,

Thank you for sending over the new designs. I think we need to realign on the direction to ensure we meet the client's expectations. Could we iterate on this and review a new version by tomorrow?

With Talkativ

Script Overview

Limitless Possibilities

This is just the beginning. From drafting complex code documentation to translating on the fly, Talkativ transforms your voice into whatever you need it to be.

System-wide. Lightning fast. 95% accuracy.

User stories

Don't take our word for it.

After my stroke, I went from a rapid typer to barely managing a sentence. Talkativ's been a lifesaver. I just click my mouse to dictate and it handles punctuation and formatting while I speak normally. What I really appreciate is — sometimes I lose my words mid-sentence and need a moment to find them again. This one just... waits. That matters more than you'd think.

Khush
Stroke Survivor, UK

My experience with AI voice tools has been hit or miss due to my Middle Eastern accent. Talkativ's been surprisingly accurate from the start. I use the custom Vocabulary feature a lot for UAE developer names (think Damaac, Binghatti or Nakheel). Once I've added them in, it nails them every time. I use it mainly in English, but it's handled my Arabic surprisingly well too.

Khalid
Property Consultant, UAE

My job is planning content calendars, auditing performance data, and mapping content to the customer journey — which means a lot of ChatGPT conversations. With Talkativ I just dump my strategic thinking out loud, then use Genius Mode to structure it into something actionable. The time I save on typing goes straight into refining the strategy. Haven't gone a day without it.

95%+ AI accuracy (Dragon-level quality)
101 Languages supported natively

This affordable Dragon alternative works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Chrome, and anywhere else you type on Windows 10 or Windows 11. Free for 2,200 words/week in 101 languages, or upgrade for unlimited dictation and premium features like Genius Mode for AI text transformation and Smart Edits (31 pre-built writing styles).

Your voice. Your way.

At the speed of thought.

Accessibility

When the keyboard becomes a barrier, your voice tears it down. Designed for life after stroke, RSI, or arthritis.

Ergonomics

When typing hurts. Another deck. Another ticket. You've typed through forty messages. Your fingers are asking for a break.

Velocity

When ideas won't wait. Mid-meeting breakthrough. Shower thought. When inspiration hits, speak it before it fades.

Fluidity

When talking is easier. Some people think with their fingers. You think with your voice. Let your ideas flow naturally.

Creation

When you're building. The essay due tomorrow. The script for Monday. Everything you build starts with words. Watch them appear.

Efficiency

When the inbox won't quit. 17 unread. Stop typing out emails one painful word at a time. Say it. Send it. Inbox Zero.

Genius Mode

Say what you want.
Watch it happen.

"Make this a professional email"

hey sarah the q4 numbers look fine but finance needs the updated projections asap. also the marketing campaign still needs your sign off before we can move forward. can you sort both today

AI Polished

Subject: Q4 Projections & Campaign Approval — Action Needed Today

Hi Sarah,

Two items need your attention today. Finance has requested the updated Q4 projections urgently, and the marketing campaign is on hold pending your sign-off.

Could you action both by end of day?

Thanks,
James

"Write a polite way to say no"

Awkward Situation

my colleague keeps asking me to cover his friday shifts but i really can't keep doing it, i need to say no without making it weird or causing drama at work

Graceful Decline

Hey, I appreciate you thinking of me — I've been happy to help when I can. But Fridays don't work for me on a regular basis, so I'll need to say no going forward.

Hope you're able to find a good solution!

"Turn this into a LinkedIn post"

Raw Thought

we added a tiny status indicator to our app and support tickets dropped 30 percent overnight. nobody ever asked for it but the data showed people were confused. sometimes the best features are the ones users can't articulate they need

LinkedIn Ready

We added a tiny status indicator to our app last week.

Support tickets dropped 30% overnight.

Nobody asked for it. No survey flagged it. We just saw the confusion in the data and built the fix.

The best features are often the ones your users can't articulate they need — that's your job to find them.

"Expand this into a proposal"

Rough Notes

support response time is 4 hours, way too slow, losing customers. want to add live chat and an AI bot for common questions. need sign off on budget

Full Proposal

Proposal: Reduce Support Response Time

Problem: Our 4-hour average response time is driving customer churn.

Solution:
• Live chat for real-time support during business hours
• AI chatbot to handle FAQs and common queries 24/7

Expected outcome: Response time under 5 minutes for 80% of queries, reduced churn, lower support load.

Budget approval required to proceed.

"Make this more assertive"

Too Tentative

hi, i was just wondering if maybe we could possibly push the deadline back a little bit? i think the team might need slightly more time, if that's ok, no worries if not, just thought i'd ask, sorry to bother you

Confident & Clear

Hi,

I'd like to propose a short deadline extension. The team needs a few more days to deliver at the quality this project deserves.

Can we align on a revised date? Happy to jump on a quick call to discuss.

Why this exists

Built for my mum.

My mum is a high-energy professional. Sharp, driven, always moving.

Then she suffered a massive stroke.

She had to re-learn how to walk. How to talk. How to balance. The woman who once led boardroom meetings now struggled with a keyboard. I watched her type — one slow, painful letter at a time — and I saw her frustration.

So I built Talkativ for her.

Now she uses it every day. She can write emails, send messages, and express herself freely again — just by speaking. It gave her some of her independence back.
