Your first dictation
Click in any text field, hold the dictation key, speak, let go. The text appears where your cursor is.
Dictating
- 1Click where the text should go
Any text field in any app: a mail, a chat, a document, a browser. - 2Hold the dictation key and speak
The default is Ctrl + Alt + Space. A small dark bar shows that SayFeather is listening and says Release to insert. - 3Let go
The bar says Writing it down, then Inserted, and the text is at your cursor.
What you see
The recording bar floats on your screen while you dictate. Drag it where you like it; double-click it to put it back. You can change this under Recording bar in Settings, Dictation.
Not sure it works? Try it in Settings, Dictation lets you dictate into a box without leaving Settings.
How it works
SayFeather turns your speech into text on your own computer with Whisper, then writes common jargon and brand names the right way (built-in terms). If you have a licence and your own AI connected, that AI also tidies the text: punctuation, capitals, no “uh” and no repeats. What you say stays the same.
In chat apps and terminals you can have SayFeather press Enter after inserting the text. See Dictation keys.
