HearSay is a push-to-talk dictation app for Windows. Hold your hotkey, say what you want to write, and the transcribed text is pasted straight into whatever you are typing in — email, chat, a document, a code editor.
No accounts, no cloud service, and nothing to configure before you can use it.
Press and hold the dictation hotkey from anywhere in Windows — by default, the right Ctrl key. HearSay starts listening immediately, and it's configurable if you'd rather use something else.
Talk the way you normally would. Speech is transcribed locally on your machine by an on-device recognition model.
Let go of the key and the text is inserted at your cursor, in whatever application you were already using.
HearSay runs as a normal per-user install and does not require administrator rights.
HearSay checks for a new version each time it starts and installs it automatically — no re-downloading, no manual updates.
The installer sets everything up for you. Because it updates itself, the download below is always the current release.
