Private dictation for Mac
Voice dictation for Mac that writes like the app you're in.
Speak naturally. Nori Flow transcribes on your Mac, shapes the result for email, chat, docs, and code, and can paste it back where you're already working.
Recording overlay
Speak naturally. Keep the thought moving.
Current app hint
User is writing an email: add paragraphs and keep it formal.

How it works
Five steps. One shortcut. Nothing in the way.
