Reclaim your voice. Reclaim your independence.

Voice dictation software designed for stroke survivors. Patient, forgiving transcription that doesn't rush you.

Built for someone I love. Now helping others.

Why We Exist

The Origin Story

I built Talkativ for my mum.

She was 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.

She's still driven. Still determined. But something so fundamental had become so hard, and so time-consuming.

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.

Understanding

Designed for Patience

Recovery takes time. Speech may be slower. Words might not come as easily. Talkativ understands this.

No Rushing

Speak at your own pace. Take your time. Talkativ waits patiently and understands natural speech patterns.

Forgiving Transcription

Advanced AI handles variations in speech, accents, and slower delivery. You don't need perfect pronunciation.

No Voice Training

Unlike older dictation software, Talkativ works immediately. No need to train it to recognize your voice.

Works with Aphasia

If you struggle with word-finding or speech clarity, Talkativ's AI is designed to understand context and fill in gaps.

One Hand or No Hands

Activate with a simple hotkey or click the microphone dot. No complex keyboard combinations needed.

Express Yourself Freely

Don't let typing limitations silence you. Speak your thoughts and watch them appear, formatted and ready.

Simplicity

How It Works

Using Talkativ is simple and accessible:

1. Activation

Press Ctrl+Space on your keyboard, or click the microphone dot with your mouse. Both methods work—choose what's easiest for you.

2. Speak Naturally

Say what you want to type. A sentence, a paragraph, an entire email. Speak at your own pace. Pause when you need to. Talkativ listens patiently.

3. See Your Words

Press Ctrl+Space again (or click the mic dot) to stop. Your words appear instantly, with punctuation added automatically, filler words removed, and formatting applied.

4. Works Everywhere

Talkativ works in any Windows application—Gmail, Microsoft Word, WhatsApp, Slack, anywhere you can type. No need to switch between different tools.
