You type everything twice
First the messy draft, then the cleanup pass. Emails, Slack replies, meeting notes — the same words, written twice, all day long.

Same hotkey, every app
Rambling in, polished email out. Live preview streams as you speak.
The problem
You can say it in ten seconds. Typing it — then re-reading, rewording, fixing the tone — takes ten minutes. Every message, every note, every reply.
First the messy draft, then the cleanup pass. Emails, Slack replies, meeting notes — the same words, written twice, all day long.
Thoughts arrive faster than fingers move. What lands on the page is fragments and filler you then spend real time untangling.
Thousands of keystrokes a day add up — wrist strain, fatigue, and the dread of one more long reply you have to hammer out.
Switching from a Mac? If you've been missing your dictation tools on Windows — this is the one you were looking for.
How it works
Hit your hotkey in any Windows app — email, IDE, chat, browser. The floating widget appears and your words stream into the live preview as you talk.
A Mode rewrites your rambling speech into the format the moment needs — a professional email, a casual Slack reply, tidy meeting notes, code-ready text.
Finished text pastes right at your cursor, near-instantly — and it's on your clipboard too, so you can paste it again anywhere.
Six built-in modes
Every mode has a tuned prompt for its destination — and you can build your own, with custom prompts, vocabulary, hotkeys, and per-app routing.

The widget, your way
Make the widget yours — five live visualizer styles, plus Soli, an animated character with expressive eyes.
Style: Wave — classic responsive bars
New in v1.2.12 & beyond
An Obsidian-compatible vault of plain Markdown files you own, in real folders with tags and full-text search. A dedicated hotkey dictates straight into the open note — or spins up a dated quick-note when none is.
Watch your words stream into the floating widget as you speak, powered by a compact local model — fully offline, with near-instant final text the moment you stop.
Assign a mode to an app and Sollsolly switches automatically — Email mode in Outlook, Code mode in VS Code. Hands-free.
Sollsolly detects your NVIDIA GPU and installs CUDA support in one click — local transcription roughly 10× faster, and your voice can stay on your machine.
Every dictation saved with its audio — searchable, replayable, and re-runnable through any mode. Recordings are kept even if transcription fails.
An optional widget character — expressive cartoon eyes that blink, glance, and perk up the instant you start speaking. Respects reduced-motion settings.
Watch it in action
One take, no cuts: press the hotkey, talk, and watch a finished email land in the inbox.

AI formats it for the destination

Why people switch
I stopped dreading long client emails. I say it once, Email mode shapes it, and I hit send. My replies went from evenings to minutes.
The offline stack sold me. Local Whisper plus my own Ollama — dictation with AI cleanup and nothing ever leaves this machine. That setup simply doesn't exist elsewhere on Windows.
English is my second language. I speak my messy version, WhatsApp mode makes it sound natural, and nobody edits my grammar in the group chat anymore.
