Roadmap

Ideas we're thinking about. No promises, no ETAs. Just vibes.

Shipped

Cross-platform

Done

Dict runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. We said we would, and then we actually did it.

๐ŸŽ macOS ๐Ÿง Linux ๐ŸชŸ Windows

Custom hotkey

Done

Pick any shortcut you like. The default was never going to fit everyone.

Transcription history

Done

Every transcription is logged so you can grab something you said five minutes ago.

Dict Cloud + auto-updates

Done

Optional managed cleanup if you do not want to run your own model, plus over-the-air updates so you never re-download.

Coming Soon

More Languages

High Priority

Right now it is English and Portuguese. Whisper speaks plenty more, so Spanish, French, German, and friends are next. Auto-detection would be nice too.

Longer recordings

The 15-second cap keeps things snappy, but sometimes you have more to say. We want a sane way to lift it.

Exploring

App-Aware Tone

Automatically adjust LLM correction style based on the active app. Casual in Slack, formal in Mail, code-aware in VS Code.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Casual for chat ๐Ÿ“ง Formal for email ๐Ÿ’ป Code for IDEs

Continuous Dictation

A mode where you don't have to keep pressing the hotkey. Start once, keep talking, automatic sentence detection and pasting.

Raycast / Alfred Integration

Trigger Dict from Raycast or Alfred. Search your snippets and commands. Power user stuff.

Settings Sync

Sync config, snippets, commands, and dictionary across your machines. Bring your own storage, no server of ours required.

Export / Import

Export your snippets and commands to share with others or backup. Import from other dictation apps.

Maybe Someday

iOS Companion App

A lightweight iPhone app that shares your snippets and lets you dictate on the go. Big maybe.

Audio Transcription

Drop an audio file onto Dict to transcribe it. Handy for meeting recordings and voice memos.

Speaker Diarization

Identify who's speaking in multi-person recordings. "Person A said X, Person B said Y." Very ambitious.

Real-time Translation

Speak in one language, paste in another. Probably slow and impractical, but would be cool.

Got an idea?

We're building this for us, but we're open to suggestions.

Please do not ask for more things though. The backlog is already terrifying. ๐Ÿ˜…

Send me an email anyway
