Just talk. BrainAloud is always listening, and one key drops your words into whatever you're typing into: an email, a document, an AI chat. Transcribed on your own PC, never in the cloud.
No push-to-talk, no window to open. The microphone stays on, and you decide what happens with what you said.
Think out loud whenever you like. The bubble shows a level meter and your words as you say them.
Press Menu and the text is typed into the field you're in. No text field? It's put on your clipboard instead.
Changed your mind? Press Insert to start over. What you said is kept on the clipboard, just in case.
It's already listening, so there's no start-up delay. Text arrives a fraction of a second after you press Send.
Explain what you want the way you'd say it to a colleague, then send the whole thought to your AI assistant in one go.
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and 19 more European languages, recognized automatically.
Add names, products and jargon to your custom words, and BrainAloud spells them your way.
"Um", "uh" and stutters are removed, so what lands in your app reads like you wrote it.
One click on the bubble pauses the microphone. A red bar reminds you it's off, with Resume right in it.
BrainAloud runs a full speech-recognition model on your own PC. There's no account, no server and no subscription behind it.
Many laptops don't have one. Right-click the BrainAloud icon in the notification area, open Settings → Keys, and choose any other key for Send and Clear.
The microphone is open, but only speech is kept: silence is dropped as you go. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing reaches an app until you press Send. Click the pause button on the bubble whenever you want the microphone off.
BrainAloud is free during the early preview.
25 European languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Hungarian, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Maltese. You can switch languages mid-day without changing any setting.
In your own Windows user folder (%APPDATA%\BrainAloud). Uninstalling BrainAloud removes the app and the speech model but keeps your settings, so a reinstall picks up where you left off.
