Loqui

Loqui is a voice-to-text tool for Mac and Windows that turns spoken words into clean, ready-to-send text inside any application where you can type. You hold a key — the fn key on a Mac or the right Ctrl key on Windows — talk the way you normally talk, and the finished text appears at your cursor. Loqui is built for people who write all day and would rather speak: it delivers the text ready, punctuated and in the right tone, without plugins and without copy and paste. The product also records meetings and writes the minutes afterwards, supports over 90 languages, and offers a free plan with no card needed. The problem Loqui addresses is that modern writing is fragmented across many apps and interrupted by the mechanics of typing. Conventional dictation makes you dictate punctuation out loud — saying "comma" and "period" — and hands back a raw transcript full of hesitations and backtracked sentences that you then have to clean up yourself. Loqui's premise is that you should be able to hesitate, backtrack and change your mind mid-sentence and still get text that reads as if it were written. A second premise is tone: the same spoken sentence should sound loose in a chat, careful in an email and direct in a doc. A third is that conversations with many voices should produce minutes that separate what was decided from what someone agreed to do, with the audio that proves it. Loqui works wherever you write. There is no plugin: the text goes wherever your cursor is, in any app you can type in, and the site lists Gmail, Slack, Notion, WhatsApp, Docs, Teams, Figma, Linear, Zoom, Outlook, Discord, Telegram, VS Code, Cursor, GitHub, Obsidian, Sheets, Trello, Word, Jira, Meet and Asana among the places it is used. Loqui also notices where the text is going and writes the way people write there — professional tone in Gmail, conversational tone in Slack and WhatsApp, technical tone in VS Code, structured tone in Notion and neutral tone in Figma comments. You talk the same way; the output adapts to the destination. It edits while you speak. If you hesitate, backtrack or change your mind mid-sentence, Loqui drops the fillers, understands the correction and formats amounts, dates and lists — all without you saying comma or period. The site's example takes a spoken sentence padded with "uh", "like, wait" and a self-correction from twelve thousand to fifteen thousand, and returns a single clean line: the budget is $15k and delivery is on Friday, with three fillers removed, one correction applied and the amount formatted in dollars. This is what makes the output ready to send rather than a transcript to be tidied. Several capabilities build on that core. Loqui learns your vocabulary: names, acronyms and jargon go into a dictionary, it suggests terms you use, and every correction you make teaches it not to miss again. You can speak in over 90 languages, either by picking the language or by letting Loqui figure out which one you are speaking. Spectros let you pick an option on the glyph before you speak, so the dictation comes out translated, summarized or written as an email. Seals save text you keep repeating and let you call it up by voice — for example a signature you ask Loqui to sign off with. Hands-free mode opens the microphone when you tap the key twice and inserts the text when you tap once more. Everything you say stays at hand. Every dictation is saved with its audio and is searchable, so you can find a past sentence by a word inside it. If you did not like the result, you can redo it from the original speech in another tone — formal, balanced or casual — without saying it again. Loqui also shows how you talk, including your most common fillers and the time of day you talk the most, calculated on your computer. When the conversation has many voices, Loqui records the meeting and gives each voice a Dito and its own track; microphone and system audio are captured on separate tracks and you can name a voice right on the timeline. At the end, the minutes separate what was decided from what someone agreed to do, with the audio clip that proves it. Items to review include decision, action, risk, dependency and open question, and you approve what counts. A contradiction radar flags when a meeting contradicts an earlier decision on the same project, and Loqui suggests the next agenda from whatever was left open. The overall approach is deliberately privacy-conscious. To become text, your audio passes through Loqui's servers and is discarded right there — only the text comes back. No audio is kept on servers, not from dictation and not from meetings, and your dictation history is kept only on your computer. Sync starts off, so taking your dictionary, tones and minutes to another computer is your call. Meetings record only after the notice, and Loqui reminds you to let everyone in the conversation know. The one exception is optional: turning on product improvement donates text samples of your dictations for up to 90 days, never the audio, and servers keep a technical record of each request. For teams, the team speaks the same language: one shared glossary for everyone, with invitations by username, and only people who consented record into the space. Glossary entries can be approved or proposed by team members, so shared names and jargon stay consistent across the group. The practical benefits follow from these mechanics: you stop typing and start speaking at the speed of thought, you stop cleaning up transcripts, and the text arrives formatted for the app it lands in. Typical scenarios on the site include drafting a revised proposal in Gmail, replying in a Slack launch channel, writing a validation comment in VS Code, capturing a planning decision in Notion, sending a quick WhatsApp message, and leaving a note in Figma. Meetings add a second workflow: record the call, review decisions, actions, risks, dependencies and open questions, then use the suggested next agenda. Loqui runs on Mac and Windows with the same experience, triggered by fn on Mac and right Ctrl on Windows. Pricing starts free forever for anyone who wants to stop typing, with a weekly dictation quota, text already formatted and ready to paste, and one hour of meetings per account as a one-time allowance. Pro is US$8 per month for people who write all day, adding dictation with no weekly quota and three hours of meetings per month. Pro + Meetings is US$16 per month for people who live on calls, with thirty hours of meetings per month and an extra ten-hour pack for US$6. Loqui's core promise is simple: speak, and Loqui writes. It turns everyday speech into finished text in whatever app you are already using, adapts the tone to the destination, and extends the same approach to meetings so the record of a conversation is ready when the call ends.
