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
