Every feature,
top to bottom.
Eight categories. Thirty-two capabilities. Free comes loaded; Pro unlocks BYOK and on-device. Here's the whole map.
Voice in
From sound to text, end-to-end under a second.
Whisper-grade transcription
Punctuation, casing, and capitalisation handled out of the box. Streaming partial results show up as you talk.
99+ languages, mixed-language utterances
Code-switch mid-sentence. Set a preferred language list and InkSpoke picks the closest match for each segment.
Smart silence detection
Built-in VAD with calibrated gain. Auto-trims dead air, pauses, and reverb so transcripts stay clean.
Streaming partial results
See your sentence appear word-by-word as you speak. Useful for long-form dictation when you want to catch yourself mid-thought.
Refinement
From transcript to a sentence you'd actually send.
Tone presets + custom prompts
Professional · Casual · Technical · Creative — or write your own refinement instructions per workspace.
Live streaming refinement
Refined tokens appear in the overlay as they're generated. See the polished version build itself in real time.
Show-the-diff preview
Optional overlay shows raw transcript vs. refined output side-by-side before injection.
Per-workspace vocabulary
Teach internal product names, acronyms, codenames, people. Applied at both transcription and refinement passes.
Workspaces
The same words mean different things in different apps.
Auto-detect by active app
Watches the foreground window. Switches workspace automatically — fuzzy-matched against app name and window title.
Compose your own
Domain context, output style, tone, and free-form custom instructions. Stack global vocab on top of per-workspace overrides.
Workspace library
Curated starter templates: Slack, Gmail, Cursor, Notion, Linear, Figma comments, and more.
Unlimited workspaces
Free includes 5. Pro is unlimited. Sync across devices over your private encryption key.
Voice commands
Don't just dictate — operate.
Hands-free wake-word
Offline keyword spotter. Customise the wake-phrase. Listens locally — no audio leaves the device until you call it.
Parametric macros
Define commands like "send to {channel}" or "open {app}". InkSpoke fills the slots from your speech.
Built-in actions
Summarise · Translate · Re-tone · Send to app · Open file · Run shortcut. Compose your own action chains.
Configurable hotkey
Hold ⌥+Space, or any combo: ⌘, Fn, Caps Lock, side buttons. Hold-to-talk or toggle modes both supported.
Models & providers
Use ours, use yours, run on-device.
Platform-hosted models
Free and Pro come with curated voice + text models hosted on the InkSpoke platform. No setup required.
BYOK voice
Plug in Deepgram, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs, Whisper-on-Azure, or any compatible ASR endpoint.
BYOK text
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Zero markup on usage.
On-device models
Run Whisper + Llama entirely on your machine. CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Windows. Verifiable offline.
Privacy & control
You decide what leaves the machine.
Local Shield mode
Flip one toggle and InkSpoke makes zero network calls. Visible in your firewall, not just our marketing copy.
API keys in OS keychain
Provider keys live in Keychain / Credential Manager / Secret Service — never in plaintext config files.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Cross-device sync uses your User Sync Key. Server sees encrypted blobs, nothing readable.
Configurable history retention
Keep a searchable log for 7 / 30 / 90 days, or disable it entirely. SQLite, local-only.
Text injection
Refined text lands where the cursor is.
Works in any text field
Native apps, web text inputs, Electron, remote desktops, terminals. Auto-picks the right injection strategy.
Clipboard-safe
Backs up and restores your clipboard around each injection — never clobbers what you'd copied before.
IDE & terminal awareness
Knows when you're in VS Code, Cursor, iTerm, or a remote shell — uses SendKeys to avoid breaking selections.
Remote desktop bridging
Detects RDP/Citrix windows and forwards via Ctrl+V into the remote session.
Team & cross-device
One InkSpoke across every machine you sit at.
Cross-device sync
Workspaces, vocabulary, commands, history — synced across all your installs. macOS + Windows + Linux.
LAN-only mobile sync
Pair phone over your own network with a QR code. No cloud roundtrip if you don't want one.
Usage statistics
Words dictated, time saved, top apps, daily streak. SQLite-backed, local-only, exportable.
Searchable history
Every dictation, indexed and re-injectable. Filter by app, language, or workspace. Disable retention any time.
What's free, what's Pro.
You spoke. Now ink it.
Free with platform-hosted voice + text models. Pro unlocks BYOK, on-device models, and unlimited workspaces.
