Hi Sarah, just confirming our meeting tomorrow at 3pm — I've attached the revised proposal.
What 1Transcribe Dictation actually does.
The capabilities you should expect from any modern dictation tool — and what makes 1Transcribe a strong fit if Typeless isn't quite right.
Works in every app
Email, docs, chat, browsers, code editors — text appears wherever your cursor is. No copy-paste, no switching windows.
Your vocabulary, built in
Add client names, specialized terms, code symbols, and brand spellings. The model has your context before you speak.
Reads like you typed it carefully
Removes ums, uhs, and rambling. Adds punctuation, fixes grammar, and matches your tone — output reads like polished writing, not a raw transcript.
Stops when you stop
A 3-second silence auto-stop and live waveform make dictation feel controlled instead of open-ended.
Replacement rules
Fix recurring words, symbols, acronyms, and spellings once so future dictations come out right.
Local history
Keep a useful record of recent dictations on your device, with control over whether history is saved.
Works inside the tools you already write in.
Email, docs, chat, browsers, terminals, AI tools, and every text field on your computer.
Gmail Slack Notion Google Docs ChatGPT Microsoft Word Outlook Discord X Linear Figma VS Code Cursor Claude + any text field
Private by default, clear by design.
Audio is processed for transcription, never used to train models, and not retained long-term. Dictation history stays on your device by default, and you control whether it is saved.
Simple pricing.
Start free. Upgrade only when you want unlimited dictation.
