The Confidential Voice Control Suite for Professionals
No subscription. No cloud. 100% on-device.
Download Free TrialMost voice-to-text tools send your audio to cloud servers for processing. Then promise to delete it afterwards. Some may even use it to train their AI models.
For lawyers, doctors, therapists, journalists, or anyone handling sensitive information, a promise isn't enough.
Other apps promise to delete your voice from the cloud. We never send it there — so it can never be stored, shared, or used for anything.
Hold the hotkey. Speak naturally. Release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — Word, email, browser, anywhere.
No cloud. No account. No internet required.
Other dictation apps force you to work in silence. SottoScribe automatically silences your audio the moment you start speaking, then smoothly fades it back in when you're done.
Music, podcasts, YouTube — whatever you're listening to. One toggle in settings is all it takes.
SottoScribe is a complete voice control suite with 100+ commands across dictation, text transformation, and navigation.
Speak naturally and your words appear wherever your cursor is. Works in any text field — Word, Outlook, Chrome, Slack, anywhere you can type.
Local AI fixes spelling, grammar, and punctuation automatically. Choose from three model sizes to match your hardware.
Listening to music or a podcast? SottoScribe automatically silences your audio when you start dictating and smoothly fades it back in when you're done.
Type emails and URLs that speech recognition usually mangles. Say literally it's john at gmail dot com and get john@gmail.com.
Select a word, say swap word to cycle through alternatives. their → there → they're. your → you're. its → it's.
Save frequently used text and insert it by voice. Insert signature pastes your email signature. Insert address pastes your address.
Add industry jargon, client names, or technical terms that speech recognition doesn't recognise. They'll be transcribed correctly every time.
Say insert time or insert date to instantly type the current time or date. Perfect for timestamps and logging.
Say quick maths followed by any expression. "Quick maths 15 percent of 250" or "quick maths 1024 divided by 8" — result goes straight to your cursor.
Copy text to your clipboard, speak a command, paste it transformed. 40+ instant clipboard commands — no AI needed for most.

Speak your prompts to AI coding assistants like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code. Describe what you want built — no typing required.
Session notes between appointments. Client details stay on your machine, not on someone else's server.
Patient notes and clinical documentation. When voice data never leaves your PC, there's nothing to worry about.
Case notes, client correspondence, privileged communications. Attorney-client privilege means nothing if your audio is on a cloud server.
Protecting sources and sensitive material. When a source's identity could be revealed by voice data, local processing isn't optional.
Vibe coding with AI assistants. Dictate prompts, write documentation, navigate your IDE — all without touching the keyboard.

No. Your voice never leaves your computer, so it can never be used for anything — not for AI training, not for analytics, not for anything else. What happens on your PC stays on your PC.
Use Literal Mode: say literally it's john at gmail dot com and SottoScribe types john@gmail.com. Special words like "at", "dot", "dash", "underscore" are converted to symbols.
