Watch Sonotexta translate German to English in Mail, and clean up filler words in Teams — automatically.
Your words appear the moment you speak them. Real-time cloud streaming with sub-second latency. 98+ languages detected automatically — no switching, no configuration.
Dictate in your native tongue and Sonotexta delivers the text in any of 24 languages. Per-contact tone profiles mean your wife gets casual Czech while your boss gets formal English.
Sonotexta reads who you're chatting with in iMessage, Teams, or Slack and automatically applies the right language and tone profile. No manual switching needed.
Choose from 8 built-in enhancement presets — Professional, Bullet Points, Summary, Action Items, and more. Or write your own. Filler words gone, grammar fixed, tone perfected.
Use the Globe key as your dictation trigger. Two modes: tap to start/stop, or hold to talk and release to finish — just like a walkie-talkie. Custom keyboard shortcuts also supported.
Keep everything on your Mac with three on-device engines. Or use cloud streaming for maximum speed. You choose — no subscriptions required for local processing.
Lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no windows. A floating pill appears when you dictate, disappears when you're done. Works in every app — Messages, Slack, Obsidian, VS Code.
Always stay on the latest version. Sonotexta checks for updates automatically and installs them with one click — no manual downloads needed.
