Voice to text for Windows
Dictate into any app on Windows 10 and 11. Vowen turns your voice into clean, formatted text on-device — fully offline, with a single hotkey. No account, no cloud, no typing.
Free download. Works on Windows 10 & 11. No account required.
Why Vowen
Better than Windows Speech Recognition and Voice Access.
Windows ships with built-in dictation, but it transcribes words and leaves the cleanup to you. Vowen is built to produce text you can actually use.
AI formatting, not raw dictation
Windows Speech Recognition and Voice Access drop a wall of unpunctuated words. Vowen adds punctuation, capitalization, and clean structure automatically — so what you say comes out ready to send.
Works offline, on your PC
Speech recognition runs on-device. Your voice never has to leave your computer, and dictation keeps working on a plane, in a café, or with the Wi-Fi off.
Types into any app
Press your hotkey and dictate straight into Word, Outlook, Chrome, Slack, VS Code, or any text field on Windows 10 and 11 — no app-by-app setup.

What you've built is absolutely incredible. Extremely well done. I dictated this entire thing, which has saved me a significant amount of time and physical stress from typing.

Does it work on Windows 10?
Yes. Vowen runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Download the installer, set a hotkey, and you can dictate into any app right away.
Is Vowen better than Windows Speech Recognition or Voice Access?
For most people, yes. The built-in Windows tools transcribe words but leave you to fix punctuation, capitalization, and formatting. Vowen adds AI formatting on top of accurate speech recognition, supports custom vocabulary and 100+ languages, and can transcribe audio files — none of which the built-in tools do well.
Does voice to text work offline on Windows?
Yes. Vowen's speech recognition runs on-device, so dictation keeps working without an internet connection and your audio stays on your PC.
Which apps can I dictate into?
Any app with a text field. Press your hotkey and speak — Vowen types the result into Word, Outlook, Chrome, Slack, Notion, VS Code, and anywhere else you'd normally type on Windows.
What languages are supported?
Vowen handles 100+ languages and dialects, and you can add custom vocabulary for names, jargon, and acronyms it might not get right out of the box.
Is Vowen free?
Yes, there's a free tier — no account required to install and start dictating. Vowen is also available on macOS and Linux if you switch machines.
Try Vowen on Windows.
Free to install on Windows 10 & 11. No account needed. Set a hotkey and dictate into any app in minutes.
