Freestyle is the dictation app that converts your voice into text. Hold down a hotkey, talk, and clean text will appear wherever your cursor is. Speak 4X faster than you type.
Freestyle is free, open source, and local-first. Run a local model and your dictations never leave your device, or bring your own API key when you'd rather use a cloud provider.
Voice dictation— hold the hotkey, speak, release to paste at your cursor in milliseconds.** Choose your model provider**— OpenAI, Groq, Anthropic, Google, Deepgram, ElevenLabs. Bring your own API key.** Transcription cleaning**— grammar and punctuation cleanup via post-processing. No more "um, oh, but".** Dictionary**— custom phrase replacements applied after transcription. (ex."type script"
→TypeScript
).Contextual correction— reformat your text based on where you're typing. Automatically format emails into email format.
