Speak. It's written.The voice to text app for Mac and Windows

Talkativ is a dictation app. Press Ctrl + Space on Windows, ⌥ Option + Space on a Mac, or click the mic dot, in any app and talk as you normally would. Your words appear where your cursor is, punctuated and ready to send.

Free for 2,200 words a week, with paid plans for more.

Try it here: press Ctrl + Space on Windows, ⌥ Option + Space on a Mac, then press it again.

Shown with Advanced formatting switched on. Every plan has it.

Works wherever you can type

Email, chat, documents, project tools, AI assistants and code editors. If there's a text box, Talkativ can fill it. One voice to text tool for every program on your computer, not a different dictation program in each.

Highlight it in any app, press Ctrl + D on Windows, ⌥ Option + D on a Mac and say what you want. Part of the Max plan.

“Pull out the five key points”Three paragraphs of interview notes become five clear points.
“Make this friendlier but keep it firm”A blunt email, said nicely: the same deadline, without the sting.
“Translate this into Spanish”A reply to Lucía, in her language.
“Turn this into a to-do list with owners”Messy meeting notes become a list with a name on every line.

Your words, spelt your way

Talkativ writes what it hears, so a name or a company word can come out wrong the first time. Add it to Vocabulary and Talkativ listens out for it, so it comes out your way. Every plan has it.

Add names, product names and jargon.

“Hi Shivon” → “Hi Siobhan”A colleague’s name, spelt the way she spells it, once it’s in your Vocabulary.
“talkative” → “Talkativ”Your own company and product names, once they’re in your Vocabulary.

Lists, money and addresses, written properly

Turn on Advanced formatting and Talkativ writes what you’d have typed. Count your points out loud for a numbered list. Say amounts, email addresses, links and times the way you’d say them.

Switch it on in Settings. Every plan has it.

“firstly… secondly… thirdly…”Count your points out loud and get a numbered list.
“four thousand pounds” → £4,000Amounts come out with the right symbol: £, $, € and more.
“accounts at northfield dot com”Email addresses and links, written the way they’re typed.
“half past three” → 3:30Times and percentages, as numbers.

Why Talkativ exists

I built Talkativ for my mum, so she could write again just by speaking after her stroke. It’s for anyone who’d rather talk than type.

Free to start. Simple when you want more.

Yes. The Free plan gives you 2,200 words a week in every app, with Vocabulary and Advanced formatting, and the words reset every 7 days. Pro has no word limit, for $7 a month or $56 a year.

Yes. Press Option + Space on a Mac or Ctrl + Space on Windows, in any app, and say what you want to write. Talkativ types it where your cursor is.

Yes, but for your computer: a voice dictation app for Mac and Windows that works in every program you can type in, with punctuation added for you.

No. Talkativ adds the punctuation and capital letters for you. Just talk the way you normally would.

100 languages, and it’s highly accurate in 56 of them. It can also work out which language you’re speaking.

No. Talkativ isn’t voice activated software that listens all the time. The microphone opens when you start a dictation and closes when you stop. While it’s listening, the mic dot is red.

Not by default. Our privacy policy says recordings are turned into text and not kept, and that your data isn’t used to train AI models.
