VoiceGecko

What is VoiceGecko?

VoiceGecko is a desktop-dictation tool designed to replace typing with speech. You press a shortcut, speak naturally, and the text appears instantly in your clipboard or active app—ideal for writing emails, coding, AI-prompting or any workflow where typing slows you down.

How to use VoiceGecko?

1. Download and install VoiceGecko on your Windows PC (with plans for other platforms).
2. Use the designated global shortcut (or the “GeckoBar”) to begin dictation—speak and the tool captures your voice.
3. Stop recording—Your spoken words are transcribed and placed on the clipboard or directly into the app you were working in.

Core Features

• Works system-wide: dictation integrates into virtually any desktop app (Slack, VS Code, browser, etc.).
• Custom dictionary: teach the tool your own terminology, jargon, or names so transcription is accurate.
• Custom keyboard shortcuts: assign start/stop keys to stay in your flow without switching windows.
• History & transcripts: every dictation is saved so you can review or reuse it later; raw audio isn’t stored by default.
• Privacy-focused: text is saved, raw audio isn’t stored unless explicitly requested; UK-GDPR compliant.
• Free tier available: up to 2,000 words per week; paid plans unlock unlimited dictation.

Use Cases

• Developers or coders who want to “brain-dump” specs, comments or code quickly by speaking instead of typing.
• Writers, bloggers or content creators who type slowly or want to keep the creative flow without interruption.
• Professionals writing long emails, meeting notes or reports—and want transcription support.
• AI prompt engineers who speak their full context then paste it into large-language-model prompts without typing overhead.
