Why Sollsolly

Built different. For Windows.

Not a Mac port

Windows-first. Not an afterthought.

Almost every well-loved dictation app started on Mac. Their Windows experience is a port. Sollsolly was built for Windows from line one — native hotkeys, native paste, NSIS installer, Windows Credential Manager for secrets.

Local-first

Your voice stays on your machine.

Whisper runs on your GPU. The LLM step is optional and runs wherever you choose — local Ollama, your own OpenAI key, your own Groq key. We sold you the tool. The tool is yours.

Fully customisable

One hotkey. One workflow.

Modes are hotkey-bound recipes: transcription model + LLM rewrite + vocabulary list, all under a key you choose. Ctrl+Shift+E → professional email. Ctrl+Shift+C → git commit. Build the writing assistant you actually need.

Feature groups

Capture. Transform. Deliver. Notes. Own it.

Five layers — from the moment you press the hotkey to the moment clean text lands at your cursor, plus a notebook to keep what matters.

Global hotkey

Works in any app, any focused window. Push-to-talk or toggle.

Live dictation preview

Watch words stream into the floating widget as you speak — fully offline, near-instant final text.

Per-Mode hotkeys

Bind 'Email' to one chord, 'Code comment' to another. One key per use case.

Voice activity detection

In toggle mode, just stop talking — Sollsolly finishes automatically.

Media auto-pause

Music or video playing? It pauses when you start recording and resumes when you finish.

Blend into existing text

Dictate mid-sentence — leading capital and trailing period are dropped so your words continue naturally.

Floating overlay

A compact pill with live waveform, timer, current Mode, and the target app’s icon. Drag it anywhere.

Push-to-talk or toggle

Hold to record, release to process. Or toggle it on. Your call.

Modes

One hotkey. Any workflow.

Modes are the thing Sollsolly does that nothing else does. Each Mode is a hotkey-bound recipe combining a transcription model, an optional LLM system prompt, and a custom vocabulary list.
