FlowVoice

Speak. The text appears at the cursor.

FlowVoice

AI voice dictation in any Windows app. Clean, punctuated and in the right tone. Free, open source and, if you want, 100% offline.

Windows 10 and 11 · ~3 MB · no administrator rights needed

Demo: in each app, you press Ctrl+Shift+Space and speak. The text appears live in the FlowVoice overlay and is pasted at the cursor, already rewritten: formal in Outlook, natural in Slack, as a prompt in ChatGPT.

You see the text as you speak.

Live, no backtracking
Words that are still uncertain show up lighter and settle once two answers agree. What has settled never changes.
One click to redo
On the result, switch the style, translate, paste or copy. If you already pasted, Replace swaps the text in place.
Wherever you want, new in 2.2
While recording, drag the capsule to any corner, even to another monitor. Or pick a position of your own in General → Floating window.
Glass, new in 2.1
The capsule can be glass, with Windows' own blur, or translucent. In General → Floating window.
Demo of the FlowVoice floating window over the desktop: the text appears as you speak, with still-uncertain words lighter; then comes the result, which is redone in the Professional style with one click. The buttons switch the capsule's look between solid, glass and translucent.

One sentence. The right tone for every place.

Pick the style, or let the app in focus pick for you.

You said in Outlook

“um, hi everyone, so, about the quarterly report, you know, I need each of you to send me your part by Friday, like, by noon, so I can go over everything before Monday's meeting”

Hi, everyone. About the quarterly report: I need each of you to send me your part by noon on Friday, so I can review everything before Monday's meeting.

Formal and organized, ready for email.

Style per app

FlowVoice recognizes the app in focus, even in the browser, and uses the style you set for it.

Gmail, WhatsApp Web, ChatGPT and others are also recognized inside Chrome and Edge.

Select some text. Say what to change.

In Command mode, Ctrl Alt K rewrites the selection in place, in any app.

  1. Selected

    hey emily, i won't be able to make the meeting tomorrow, something came up here, my bad

  2. You say

    “make it more formal”

  3. It becomes

    Hi, Emily. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend tomorrow's meeting because something came up. My apologies.

Also works: “translate to Spanish”, “summarize in bullets”, “fix the grammar”. Just want the spelling right? Select and press Ctrl Alt J: Proofread fixes accents and punctuation without changing the words, and you don't say a thing.

Quick questions

Is it really free?

Yes. FlowVoice has no server: it uses your key directly with the provider, or runs on your PC. The free plans of Groq and Gemini cover normal daily use, no card needed.

Windows showed a warning during installation. Is it safe?

That's expected: the installer doesn't have a paid signature yet. Click “More info” and “Run anyway”. The installer is built by GitHub Actions from the open source code.

Which systems does it work on?

Windows 10 and 11. The installer is about 3 MB, needs no administrator rights and updates itself.

I found a problem or have an idea. Where do I go?

On GitHub: report a problem or suggest an improvement. Inside the app, under Settings → About, the same buttons already fill in the app and Windows versions.

FlowVoice is free and always will be. If it saves you time, a coffee through LivePix (Pix, for Brazil) or GitHub Sponsors (any card, monthly or one-time) keeps the updates coming.
