The Freestyle desktop app
Freestyle is the voice dictation app that turns your voice into text with the press of a hotkey. Helps developers type 4X faster than they normally would. It’s open source, and powered by Freestyle Transcribe — our cloud transcription service, optimized for developer dictation.

What you can do

  • Voice dictation: hold the hotkey, speak, release to paste at wherever your cursor is. Dictate directly into your favorite coding agent.
  • Transcription: Freestyle Transcribe, tuned for developer dictation. Sign in and it works.
  • 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)
  • Freestyle Plugins SDK: Build custom workflows in the transcription pipeline with our SDK
