## Overview

Spoke is AI-powered dictation that works like a human scribe, and it's more than just transcription. Spoke lets you format on the go by saying "Write that in caps", "Emphasize X", "Write that in quotes" etc. And forget dealing with dictionaries because you can just say "spell that X-Y-Z" to get exactly what you meant. And with Edit Mode, select any text and dictate instructions to transform it instantly, without ever leaving where you're working.

## Details

Spoke is AI-powered dictation for macOS that works like a human scribe. Understanding your intent and not just transcribing words. It's more than just speech-to-text. It's dictation that finally respects how we actually communicate.


 


Philosophy


A human scribe wouldn't come with a dashboard and dictionary settings, they'd just understand your intent. Spoke exists to prove that voice interfaces can be intelligent, fluid, and respectful of how humans actually work.


 


Format as you speak


Say "write that in caps," "emphasize that word," "put this in quotes," or "new paragraph" and Spoke handles it instantly. No breaking flow to hunt for formatting buttons or keyboard shortcuts. Just speak naturally and it understands what you want.


 


Zero dictionary frustration


Forget maintaining dictionaries or hitting backspace when your dictation app mishears "Groq" as "Grok." With Spoke, just say "spell that G-R-O-Q" mid-sentence and keep going. Company names, technical terms, people's names—spell it once and Spoke remembers. No configuration panels, no manual entry, no headaches.


 


Edit Mode


Select any text you've written, then dictate instructions like "make this more compelling," "fix the grammar," or "make it casual and shorter." Spoke transforms it instantly without leaving your app. No more copy-pasting into ChatGPT. Edit at the speed of thought, right where you're working.


 


Software that cares


Unlike tools that dump problems on users, Spoke is designed with obsessive attention to UX:


- Adaptive interface that transforms into notifications, settings, or history based on context


- Catches words around your screen via context for better accuracy with specialized terminology


- Just-in-time permissions that appear only when needed (no horrible re-setup experiences)


- And so much more
