Free Tier France

Voice-to-text dictation that types at your cursor in any app on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with custom vocabulary and 130+ languages.

French voice-to-text dictation that inserts punctuated, formatted text at your cursor in any app, on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Professional content is transcribed in France, with audio deleted immediately.

Fast Dictate turns speech into clean, punctuated text and drops it straight at your cursor, in whatever application you are already working in. It handles 130+ languages, applies your own custom vocabulary for proper nouns, industry jargon and acronyms, and corrects errors as it goes, so what lands in the text field reads as finished writing rather than a raw transcript.

A shortcut starts dictation, either push-to-talk or hands-free, and the text appears without any copy-paste step. Transcription, punctuation, your formatting rules and spelling corrections all run in a single pass, so four minutes of speech takes roughly three seconds to process. Desktop builds cover Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 11 or later, alongside native iOS and Android apps.

Key benefits:

  • Works in every app so text lands in email, editors, browsers and chat windows
  • Custom vocabulary teaches it proper nouns, industry jargon, acronyms and brand names
  • Formatting rules produce bullet lists, line breaks and punctuation automatically
  • Text shortcuts expand recurring phrases and signatures as you dictate them
  • Zero audio retention with recordings processed in memory, then deleted immediately

  • Free tier of 2,000 words per week before any paid plan is needed

Fast Dictate is published by Synapse Crew SAS in Paris and hosted in France by Clever Cloud. On the Pro plan, professional content is transcribed in France only, on ISO 27001:2022 certified infrastructure, with no call to an AI API outside the country and nothing used to train models. A GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement is available to Pro customers on request.

Ideal for lawyers, notaries and in-house counsel who need dictation that holds up against French professional secrecy obligations.
