The key difference
No focus required.
Dictare listens globally. Speak while reading docs in your browser, reviewing a PR, or doing anything else — no need to click back to a terminal. Your agent hears you wherever your focus is.
Why Dictare
100% Local
Whisper, Parakeet — your choice of speech model. Zero data leaves your machine. No accounts, no API keys, no cloud.
Always Ready
Runs as a system service. Models preloaded at startup — speak and it responds instantly. Zero cold-start.
One Interface, Every Agent
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, Pi — same hotkey, same voice commands. Switch agents mid-session with your voice.
Get started
Install as a service
Run dictare service install — Dictare starts at login, preloads STT models, and waits silently in the background.
Launch your agent
Run dictare agent my-project and start speaking. Claude Code — and all your favourite AI coding agents — executes. That's it.
Switch agents on the fly
Say "agent personal" or "agent work" mid-session to switch to any configured tool.
Voice triggers are multilingual — EN, DE, ES, IT, FR out of the box.
