Voice to Text for Windows

Windows has had built-in speech recognition since Vista, but anyone who has used it for real work knows the frustration: poor accuracy, no text cleanup, and results that need as much editing as typing from scratch would have taken. QuickSay replaces that experience with modern AI — Groq Whisper for transcription, LLaMA for intelligent text formatting — at a one-time cost of $29.

How QuickSay Works

QuickSay runs quietly in your system tray. When you need to dictate, hold your configured hotkey (default: Caps Lock) and speak. When you release the key, your audio is sent to Groq's Whisper API for transcription. The raw transcript then passes through LLaMA, which cleans up punctuation, capitalization, filler words, and sentence structure. The polished text is pasted into whatever application has focus.

The entire process takes seconds. You speak naturally — including pauses, restarts, and casual phrasing — and receive text that reads like you carefully typed it.

QuickSay vs. Windows Built-In Dictation

Windows 10 and 11 include a dictation feature activated by Win+H. It works in a limited set of applications, produces raw unformatted text, and relies on Microsoft's older speech recognition models. There is no text cleanup, no smart punctuation beyond basic periods, and the accuracy for technical or domain-specific vocabulary is unreliable.

QuickSay uses Groq Whisper — one of the most accurate speech recognition models available — and adds an LLaMA cleanup pass that Windows dictation completely lacks. The result is text that needs minimal editing, with proper capitalization, punctuation, and natural sentence flow. QuickSay also works in every Windows application without exception, including apps where Win+H dictation fails.

The Groq Whisper Advantage

Groq runs Whisper on custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) hardware designed for fast inference. This means your audio is transcribed quickly and accurately, with support for 25 languages and automatic language detection. Whether you are dictating in English, Spanish, German, or Japanese, QuickSay handles it with the same hotkey — no manual language switching required.

Groq's free tier provides up to 8 hours of daily transcription at no cost. For the vast majority of users, this means QuickSay's voice-to-text is effectively unlimited for everyday use — all included in the $29 one-time purchase price.

Privacy Without Compromise

Some voice-to-text tools capture your screen for "context-aware" dictation. Others collect telemetry about your usage patterns. QuickSay does neither. It sends your audio to Groq for transcription — that is the only data that leaves your machine. Zero screen capture, zero telemetry, zero data retention beyond the active transcription session.

Works Everywhere You Type

QuickSay is not limited to specific applications. It types into any text field on Windows via the clipboard: email clients, web browsers, chat applications, document editors, code editors, CRM software, ERP systems, and terminal emulators. If you can type there with a keyboard, QuickSay can dictate there with your voice.

One-Time Pricing

Voice-to-text should not be a recurring expense. QuickSay costs $29 once — no monthly subscription, no annual renewal, no per-word billing. Competitors charge $120-$180 per year for similar functionality, which adds up to $360-$540 over three years. QuickSay stays at $29 total, regardless of how long or how much you use it.
