On the free tier, transcription happens on your machine. Whisper turns your voice into text without sending audio anywhere, and it works fully offline. Close your laptop, fly to Tokyo, dictate the whole flight on airplane mode. Same product.

Pro adds optional cloud modes for speed. Cloud rewrite sends only the rough text to Anthropic Claude Haiku for a faster polish. Cloud transcription, if you turn it on, sends your audio for faster results. Anthropic does not train on API data. Keep both off and nothing leaves your machine. You decide what crosses the wire.

Why Recitey

Not a dictation tool. A writing tool.

Most writing tools assume you start with a blank page and a clear head. Most days, neither is true.

You explained it perfectly on the call. Then you sit down to write the follow-up and the words refuse to come.

Familiar moments. The five-line Slack reply that took fifteen minutes. The PRD section still rough on Friday because you wrote it on Monday and never had time to come back. The code comment that says TODO: explain six months later.

Recitey starts at the moment you actually have the thought.

Press a key. Talk. The polished version appears at your cursor.Not a transcript. The sentence you wish you'd typed.

The transcription happens on your machine, so by default your audio stays on your device. Free is uncapped because there is no per-call cost when the model is local. Pro adds optional cloud modes, with a 30-day refund.

Most voice tools live in a cloud, bill by the minute, and stop working offline. Recitey runs offline by default.

Linux is on the roadmap. Today, this is for the people who write all day on Windows or macOS.

Built for

The people writing all day.

Vibe coders

You explain more than you type now.

Cursor, Claude, GitHub conversations. The work shifted from typing code to typing intent. Same keyboard, more words to explain what the model should build.

Recitey turns spoken intent into the prompt you would have typed. Press a key, narrate what you want, paste into the chat that's waiting.

Knowledge workers

Most of your day is writing.

Status threads. Email. Comments. Tickets. Briefs. The writing isn't the work; it's how the work happens. Hours per day, every day.

Recitey turns spoken thinking into typed prose. Speak the rough version, paste it where it's needed. The day stops being mostly typing.

Managers

Async leadership is writing.

1:1 notes. Status updates. Project specs. Performance reviews. Strategy memos. Most leadership now happens in writing, not in meetings.

Recitey turns spoken thinking into structured prose. Talk through the decision, get back the version your team can read tomorrow.

Common questions

If you've used dictation before, you'll have these questions.

i.Is this just a wrapper around Whisper?

No. The transcription is local and uses a tuned engine, but the personality is in the rewrite, the per-app tone, the personal style profile, and the floating widget. Transcription is the smallest part of what Recitey does.

ii.Does my audio ever leave my computer?

Never. Free tier is fully offline. Pro sends only the rough text to the rewrite engine, never audio. The widget shows a "Network: 0 KB sent" indicator while you record so you can verify.

iii.What about macOS and Linux?

Recitey is available on Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon). Linux is on the roadmap. Tell us your platform at hello@recitey.com and we'll email you the day it ships.

iv.Can I use my own style profile?

Yes, on Pro. Define your voice once: banned phrases, preferred contractions, custom dictionary, common acronyms. Recitey follows them on every dictation, no matter the mode.

v.Does Recitey learn my writing style?

Yes, on Pro. Beyond the rules you set yourself, Recitey quietly studies your past dictations on your machine and builds a short note on how you actually write, then matches it on every rewrite so the result sounds like you, not a generic assistant. It is built entirely on-device. Nothing is uploaded to create it. You can read it, edit it, or turn it off in Settings.

vi.What if I don't have a GPU?

Still works. Median latency goes from ~160ms to ~900ms on CPU-only machines. Fast mode is unaffected. Clean and Rewrite are slower but still under one second on a modern laptop.

vii.Can I cancel Pro any time?

Yes. Cancel from settings, no calls, no friction. Free mode keeps working. Your style profile and dictionary stay on your machine. We do not delete anything when you downgrade.
