Dictation + meeting notes · Windows

Talk through your day. It's all written down.

Say your emails instead of typing them. Sit in your meetings instead of taking notes. A9 Voice writes both, knows who said what, and keeps it all in files on your PC.

One Tuesday

Here's what a workday looks like when you stop typing it.

8:52 amInbox

Twelve emails before stand-up.

Hold Ctrl+Space and answer them out loud. You talk about three times faster than you type, and the "um"s are gone before the text lands.

Re: Store screenshots

Thanks, Priya. The store screenshots will be ready by Wednesday, and I'll send the release notes to Dana tonight.

You say it messy. It reads clean.

It drops the "um"s and fixes the punctuation. It never rewrites what you meant, and your dictionary spells names and jargon your way, every time.

What you said

Um, so yeah, I think, uh, let's hold the launch to like Monday the twentieth if, you know, if the payment fix lands by Thursday

↓ WHAT LANDS IN THE EMAIL

Let's hold the launch for Monday the 20th if the payment fix lands by Thursday.

9:00 amStand-up

The call starts. So does the recording.

When Teams, Zoom or any app you pick opens the mic, A9 Voice starts recording on its own. You get eight seconds to discard it if this one shouldn't be kept.

Why people switch

No bot in your call.

It records your mic and your computer's audio, right on your PC. Nobody sees an assistant in the participant list.

Your files, not their cloud.

Every note is a folder of plain Markdown on your PC. Claude, ChatGPT or any tool that reads files can use it.

Your keys. Or no internet at all.

Run speech models on your PC with no key, or bring your own provider keys and pay them directly.

If you're using one of these now

What changes when you switch.

From Otter

No bot or cloud account. Names work on Teams too, and your notes are files you keep.

From Fireflies

No assistant joins the call. Voices stay on your PC, never uploaded.

From Granola

Same bot-free capture, plus live speaker names, your own keys and offline models.

From Wispr Flow

The same hold-to-talk dictation, plus meeting notes, in one app.
