Cove
How it works

Talk. It types.

Cove turns speech into text anywhere on your desktop. Hold a hotkey, say what you mean, and the words land in whatever app you're already in.

An orb appears while Cove listens. Let go and your sentence is typed at the cursor — and copied to the clipboard, just in case.

Runs on your machine

Speech never leaves your computer. No account, no cloud, no API key — the model ships inside the app and works with the network off.

Keeps up as you speak

A streaming recognizer transcribes continuously rather than waiting for you to finish, so sentences land almost as soon as you say them.

Stays out of the way

Cove lives in the system tray. There's no window to manage — just a small orb that shows up while it's listening, and moves wherever you drag it.
