The problem with cloud dictation

Most 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.

How it works

Hold the hotkey. Speak naturally. Release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — Word, email, browser, anywhere.

No cloud. No account. No internet required.

You say:
"so yeah we need to uh meet with sarah tomorrow at like 3 to go over the johnson thing and um bring the contracts"
You get:
We need to meet with Sarah tomorrow at 3 p.m. to go over the Johnson matter and bring the contracts.

Listen to music while you dictate

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.

More than dictation

SottoScribe is a complete voice control suite with 100+ commands across dictation, text transformation, and navigation.

Voice Dictation

Speak naturally and your words appear wherever your cursor is. Works in any text field — Word, Outlook, Chrome, Slack, anywhere you can type.

Hold the hotkey, speak, release. That's it.

AI Grammar Cleanup

Local AI fixes spelling, grammar, and punctuation automatically. Choose from three model sizes to match your hardware.

Choose the right size for your hardware. Best (2GB), Standard (1GB), or Light (800MB) — all run 100% locally

Pause Media While Dictating

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.

Works with Spotify, YouTube, and any app that plays audio

Literal Mode

Type emails and URLs that speech recognition usually mangles. Say literally it's john at gmail dot com and get john@gmail.com.

Supports spelled letters, special characters, and mixed case

Homophone Fix

Select a word, say swap word to cycle through alternatives. their → there → they're. your → you're. its → it's.

Instant fix for the most common transcription mistakes

Text Snippets

Save frequently used text and insert it by voice. Insert signature pastes your email signature. Insert address pastes your address.

Create unlimited custom snippets from the settings menu

Custom Terms

Add industry jargon, client names, or technical terms that speech recognition doesn't recognise. They'll be transcribed correctly every time.

Essential for legal, medical, and technical dictation

Insert Time & Date

Say insert time or insert date to instantly type the current time or date. Perfect for timestamps and logging.

Formatted for your locale — no typing required

Quick Maths

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.

Supports add, subtract, multiply, divide, percentages, and more

Transform any text by voice

Copy text to your clipboard, speak a command, paste it transformed. 40+ instant clipboard commands — no AI needed for most.

Hands-free navigation

Control your browser and Windows without touching the keyboard. 60+ navigation commands for scrolling, tabs, windows, and launching apps.

Instant search

Say search sausage recipes from any app — a browser opens with Google results. No clicking, no typing.

Browser control

go back go forward refresh scroll up page top

Tabs

new tab close tab next tab previous tab reopen tab

Windows

new window close window minimise maximise

Editing

undo redo copy paste cut select all save

Text styling

bold italic underline capitalize quote it

Never lose what you said

SottoScribe remembers your last 20 dictations. Access them anytime to re-paste or review.

show history opens the popup. repeat last pastes your most recent dictation. Click any item to paste it.

Vibe coding

Write code by voice. Describe what you want, dictate comments, navigate your IDE — all hands-free.

Perfect for prompting AI coding assistants, writing documentation, or giving your wrists a break during long coding sessions.

You say:
"literally it's def underscore calculate underscore total open bracket items close bracket colon"
You get:
def_calculate_total(items):

Frequently asked questions

Does SottoScribe work offline?

Yes, completely. Once installed, SottoScribe runs entirely on your PC with no internet required. Planes, trains, off-grid — it just works.

Is my voice data sent anywhere?

Never. Your voice is processed locally using on-device AI. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to any server. Ever.

What are the 100+ voice commands?

Dictation commands (punctuation, formatting), 40+ clipboard transformation commands (summarise, extract emails, format as bullets, change case), and 60+ navigation commands (scroll, switch tabs, browser control, launch apps, open websites). See the User Guide for the complete list.

Is SottoScribe a Dragon NaturallySpeaking alternative?

Yes — with extras Dragon doesn't offer: clipboard commands that transform copied text, hands-free navigation, and local AI editing. £69 one-time vs Dragon's ~£600, and no subscription.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11, 8GB RAM recommended, and a microphone. A GPU (NVIDIA or AMD) speeds up processing but isn't required — SottoScribe works on CPU too.

What's the difference between the AI model sizes?

Best (2GB) gives the highest quality grammar corrections. Standard (1GB) balances quality and speed. Light (800MB) is fastest with lowest memory use. All three run 100% locally.

Is my voice data used for AI training?

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.

How do I type emails and URLs?

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.
