Voice writing for 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 your team can read tomorrow.

Your voice stays on your machine.

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.

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, 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

Leading happens in writing now.

Engineering managers

1:1 notes that survive the week.

The 1:1 recap you would have written sits in your head for two days, then dissolves. The follow-through pattern only works if the notes exist.

Recitey takes the recap you would have spoken into the recording and turns it into structured notes you can edit on the walk home.

Product managers

Specs at the speed of the standup.

Cross-functional comms eat the calendar. The PRD you explained on the standup takes another hour to write up.

Recitey turns the explanation you gave into the spec you would have written. Same content, fewer rewrites, no context loss.

Team leads and founders

Strategy memos without the blank page.

The decision is clear in your head. Writing it down so the team aligns is the part that drags. Investor updates, customer threads, performance reviews all live in the same drag.

Recitey shortens the loop from thought to send. Audio stays on your machine, polish is one toggle, the structure is already there.

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.

Stop typing.
Start writing.

Press a key. Talk. Done.
