Recitey is now in early access.Download the beta
Voice writing for developers

You explain more than you . type now.

Cursor prompts. Code review notes. JSDoc and commits that explain why. The work shifted from typing code to typing intent, and the typing tax moved with it. Recitey turns the explanation you would say out loud into the message you would have typed.

macOS is in active development. We will not spam you.

Watch a Cursor prompt and a code review reply get drafted out loud in 46 seconds.

Free. Private. Works on most Windows machines. Runs offline·~3 GB after first launch

Audio stays on your device.Free tier is fully offline.

The three modes

From raw voice to polished text.

Press your hotkey, speak, paste. Choose how much help you want.

The proof

Built for speed

Cursor still blinking.

Runs on your machine. Polishes a sentence in under two seconds, even when it is rewriting your tone from the ground up.

text

The transcription happens on your machine. Whisper turns your voice into text without ever sending audio to a server. The free tier is fully offline. Close your laptop, fly to Tokyo, dictate the whole flight on airplane mode. Same product.

Pro adds an optional cloud rewrite for users who want a faster polish step. When that toggle is on, only the rough text leaves your device. The audio never does. The text goes to Anthropic Claude Haiku, the model that drafts the polish. Anthropic does not train on API data. The toggle is off by default. You decide what crosses the wire.

Three rooms · three voices

Same dictation. Shaped to where it lands.

What Recitey hears is the same. What it writes depends on the app you're in.

Hi Sarah,

Following up on the trip we talked about. A few things to figure out:

  • Whether we are leaving Friday or Saturday.
  • If we want to stop for lunch on the way.
  • What we should do about the dog.

Let me know when you have a chance.

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. Audio never leaves your device. Free is uncapped because there is no per-call cost when the model is local. Pro adds an optional cloud rewrite, 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.

Mac and Linux are coming. Today, this is for the people who write all day on a Windows machine.

Built for

When code is the easy part.

Vibe coders

Cursor and Claude all day.

Same keyboard, more words. The job is now writing intent, not just code. Long prompts. Spec comments. Slack threads explaining what the model should build.

Recitey takes the spoken version and pastes the typed version into the chat that's waiting. The hands don't have to catch up to the brain.

Backend engineers

PR descriptions that explain the why.

The diff is the what. The PR description is the why. After a long pairing session the description gets terse because the typing tax is real.

Recitey starts at the spoken version of the explanation you would have given on the call. Edits are quick because the structure is already there.

Anyone with RSI

Type less. Ship the same.

Built-in Windows dictation lacks punctuation. Wispr Flow is Mac-only. The accessibility road on Windows has been thin.

Recitey punctuates and paragraphs without you thinking about it. Hotkey-driven, never menu hunting. The free tier is uncapped because the model runs on your machine.

Pricing

Free to start. Pro when you write daily.

On-device dictation is free, uncapped. Cleanup and Rewrite get 2,000 words a week on Free, unlimited on Pro.

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?

Coming. Recitey is Windows-first because that's where we and our early-access writers spend the day. macOS is in early build, Linux is on the roadmap. Tell us your platform at hello@recitey.com.

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.

Stop typing.
Start writing.

Press a key. Talk. Done.
